the pursuit of knowledge is a never-ending one

education.

Biology and nature sciences have always been interests of mine. Choosing medical school as my second degree was something that many have called a whim at the time. Luckily, I persevered and, fixated on my goal, I managed to finish it in 2020.

It was probably one of the most engaging and rewarding experiences of my life and something I plan on taking advantage of going forward in my career.

The years I spent studying at the “Politehnica” University Of Bucharest were actually split between school and work. The decision to start my career early was an easy one because I wanted to get a head start. 

When I finished my studies and became an engineer, I already had 4 years of working experience and my degree just complemented that launching me towards further success.

I had the privilege to study at what was at the time one of the top high-schools in Bucharest. This came with lots of learning opportunities of which I took full advantage in the pursuit of my future career and in preparation for studying to become an engineer.

volunteering.
