I am a sociologist, a researcher, an advocate, and an NGO-worker, but I also have experience advising state authorities, namely the National Authority for the Protection of Children's Rights and Adoption (NAPCRA), and the Ministry of Development and Public Administration.
I have had an interest in reforming Romania’s child protection system since the adoption of my daughter. Additionally, as the deputy director of Life and Light Foundation, an NGO involved in child protection since 1996, I have also been directly involved in Romania’s deinstitutionalisation process through their programmes.
Together with Dr. Gabriela Dima, I contributed to the Eurochild DataCare project and continued working with Eurochild to implement the recommendations of the DataCare project in Romania.
