About 

Graduated with honors in July 2012 the School of Architecture from Bucharest resulting in a Master in Architecture Degree, after six years of study. I worked in Romania for over one year under the direct coordination of architect Dorin Stefan with his private architecture office (DSBA), at international and national architecture projects and competitions; during this period we won the 3rd prize at the Taiwan Tower International Competition 2011. Since October 2012, I was part of Livio Dimitriu teaching team at Pratt Institute School of Architecture / Second Year Design Studio. Now I am seeking to extend my boundaries in both architecture and urbanism, and to experiment and become part of a challenging and first-hand working environment.
