Bio
Lenny Dutton
Cristina led a fantastic round table discussion so that IB educators could discuss the new personal project guide. It had the perfect balance of sharing her ideas and the ideas of their participants. She showed she was very knowledgeable, as she was able to easily answer any questions she had. She had prepared a good level of stimulus to get the conversation rolling! An excellent presentation

I've known Cristina since my university studies. At the time, she held the position of administrator of the French Lecturers’ Department at the University of Bucharest. In addition to the cultural activities organized, she carried out very broad and high-responsibility resource management missions. Moreover, she animated a team of student volunteers and I had the opportunity to work under her coordination. Cristina is a person who is able to present creative ideas and provide direction. Her actions significantly raised individual and team performance levels. She is a woman whom I really admire and she inspired me to follow my passion and move towards ambitious goals. She rounds out the qualities and characteristics of an inspirational leader. I highly recommend Cristina for a leadership position.
