Salut! Howdy! Hallo!
I’m a writer, translator, mother and emigree, whose name starts with the letter ‘A’. Just like the alphabet. My background? Romanian-born, U.S. and U.K.-educated, living at the foot of the Alps.
Having journeyed from International Business to Creative Writing (University of London, Oxford, Teesside) and from Europe to North America and back, I call the white page home.
My writing navigates the emotional terrains of identity, place, trauma, and belonging, in a cerebral yet sensual tone that is at times lyrical, at times realistic and rebellious – but always authentic.
I’m fascinated by nature (human and otherwise), swear by the medicine of love, and like to walk through the world in quiet contemplation. I believe words are only worth uttering if they are more beautiful than silence.
