Tourism graduate researching Japanese gastronomy in Bucharest and evaluating hotels and resorts for travel products.

At the 12th International IACuDiT Conference 2025, I presented co-authored research on authentic Japanese gastronomy in the Romanian context, analyzing Japanese restaurants in Bucharest.

During a destination familiarisation trip to Sharm El-Sheikh organised by Karpaten Turism, I inspected hotels and resorts and evaluated service quality, operational standards, and guest experience. I also assessed accommodation suitability for different tourist profiles to support travel package design and sales.

For my master's professional practice at Dimitrie Brândză Botanical Garden Bucharest, I digitised herbarium archives and verified and catalogued preserved plant specimens. I also officiated national-level table tennis matches with the Romanian Table Tennis Federation.
