About

I’m a confident and highly adaptable professional with 9 years of experience in the UK, across sales, front desk reception, and office coordination—most recently in some of London’s most prestigious corporate buildings. In the early part of my career, I worked in retail and B2B sales, consistently exceeding targets and generating millions in revenue for global brands. Over the last few years, I transitioned into front-of-house and office roles, including cover assignments at Deloitte London and Reading, and longer-term placements at Morgan Stanley (7 months), Apple, and Bain Capital. These roles enhanced my skills in communication, organisation, and working with senior stakeholders in high-pressure environments. Now based in Bucharest, I’m looking for an admin, junior office coordinator, or executive assistant role where I can contribute my international experience, professionalism, and positive energy to a new team.
