Bio
Roman D.
Smaranda is one of the most intelligent students I know. During her time in Boston, she has provided me and my fellow students with thoughtful insights into current affairs. Her grasp of the English language (among many others) has made her a great editor for English and French papers. She has proofread many of my works and is a professional writer herself among many talents. If this was not enough, Smaranda also exhibits a unique blend of analytical, artistic and technical expertise. She has made wonderful pictures for various purposes (art, photo-journalism, professional and architectural) and has owned all the steps of the process from shooting to digital touches. Smaranda is destined to excel wherever her passions lead her.
