What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values academic excellence and creativity.

I am a dedicated academic researcher and writer with over 20 years of experience in the fields of literature and education. My journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in English and French from the College of Charleston, followed by a Master of Arts and a Ph.D. candidacy in Comparative Literature at Babes-Bolyai University. I have been honored with prestigious awards, including the Scientific Research Performance Award from Babes-Bolyai University and the Douglas Dillon Fellowship at Harvard University.

Throughout my career, I have engaged in various teaching and mentoring roles, contributing to the academic growth of students at institutions like Sorbonne University and Iuliu Hatieganu Medical University. My research focuses on the Gothic tradition in literature, and I have published several articles in esteemed journals. Additionally, I have experience in copywriting, translation, and educational consulting, which has enriched my understanding of diverse cultures and languages.
