Summary

I'm Anca, a multifaceted digital marketing professional with a background in marketing management and foreign languages and literatures. Grounded in IT, my journey unfolds at the crossroads of creativity and strategy. As an end-to-end marketer and designer, I thrive on taking projects from inception to launch, embedding effective principles and methodologies into every initiative.

Open to opportunities and relocation, I navigate change with curiosity and excitement, and embrace the new experiences it brings. I think that resilience paves the way to success ("Ad Astra per Aspera"), and I aim to reach new heights in the digital space and beyond.

I'm also deeply committed to nurturing work environments where every voice can be heard and valued. I believe in creating spaces where inclusivity is the norm and everyone is encouraged to share constructive feedback.
