I am Romanian, born in Roman. I moved to Bucharest in 1991, and as I have studied, worked and lived here, I have developed a ‘love/hate relationship’ with the city. I love the variety of people that God continues to bring to the city. I love Romania and Bucharest with its rich history, yet recognize many things that I would like to see changed.

I am thankful for the beautiful inheritance of high values, principles, hard work and service I received from my parents. I am passionate about urging and equipping people to fulfill God’s purposes and advance His Kingdom. I have a broad perspective on life and I believe in a different kind of local church. We do not go to church; rather, we are the Church. And as God’s family, we are called to be a beacon of light and hope in the community and society where God has placed us.
