"The best things in life aren't things" - John Ruskin

I have always been passionate about the human being, nature, universe and the relationship between them. I like spending as much time as possible outdoors, admiring all the beautiful things that surround us: flowers, trees, insects, birds, rivers, mountains, sun, moon, etc. Every season has its own personal beauty, but my favorite one is spring (since I am born end of March).

Even if I was born and raised in the city, all my summer holidays were spent in the countryside. This way, I have learned to appreciate both sides: the grey city where time passes very fast (tall buildings, concrete playgrounds, computer, television, technology, weather whim that has almost no impact on life and people who use their mental capabilities most of the time), but also raw nature where time has its own, undisturbed pace (domestic and wild animals, crops, weeds, nature as a playground, lack of technology, weather whim that has a huge impact on life and people who use their physical capabilities most of the time). Since then, one of my greatest desires is to take part in creating a world where Earth and its inhabitants take the most out of both: technology and nature (in order to see a glimpse of this future, take a look at Jacque Fresco's "The Venus Project" http://www.thevenusproject.com/).

One of my recent passions is creating homemade cosmetics only with natural ingredients (and organic, where possible). This has lead me to rediscovering the power of the plants and understanding once again how powerful Mother Nature is.

My professional path has taken me towards marketing and advertising, especially the digital field. A part of my job in the past year has been to manage the social channels for IKEA Romania and IKEA Croatia. Working with two very different countries, especially in meeting their inhabitants through social media, has helped me understand the social differences that we have and what influences us to act or speak in a certain way.

During my holidays I like volunteering on organic farms or smallholdings with people who are looking for volunteer help. Since I do this activity in different countries and regions, it helps me expand my knowledge about nature, do some physical work for people who need it and explore different social patterns or behaviors.

Psychology Mentors, Inspirations, and Influences

  • Stanescu Vasile
    I.L Caragiale National College, Ploiesti, Romania
    My math teacher, who brought a new way of looking at mathematics: not as formulas on a piece of paper, but as the beginning of everything we know. He also tought us that eveything has a logic and flows; all we have to do is think instead of memorizing.
  • Pope Francis
    I am not a religious person, but he is my inspiration because of his force shown through humbleness and his desire to unite the "old" with the "new", in order to create the world I am dreaming of.
