I look for a match in the category of intelligent professionals who question the validity of the standards imposed with no (deeper) reflection on us and engage pragmatically in the search for viable alternatives.

1. My brand
An extended sense of property

2. Introduction
Let’s suppose that it might be possible to fulfil the task of describing
oneself through a pair of picture-perfect lenses. The depiction would
remain anyway incomplete pending for a listener who cares to pay
attention. The depiction emerges in the mind of the auditor. The untold
speaks for itself.

3. Plunging into surreal
I am born in Romania during a period of special historical conditions. There’s
nothing I could say to make sure that the listener understands the implication
of this random choice of the universe that determines a specific space-time
position for somebodies birth.
The child I was, plunged into a reality where the uttered truths defied the
reasonable. The insight of a broken reality gave me the pedigree of an innate
researcher.
What it’s told to be factually correct represents an insignificant part of reality;
the other part that we don’t acknowledge yet is mathematically proven to be
immeasurable. The pursuit of exploring the not-yet-recognised-as-true must be
the most natural habit of a human being.

4. The exile
Being born in a space-time of senselessness I felt like running away from this first
home and so I did. Sweden my new home was for me a kind of parallel universe,
imagine for instance a field characterised by anti-gravity and compare it with a
field of heavy gravity as my old home was.
My naivety or at least a part of it has been lost in the process of moving in between
homes. Coming from an universe where gravity crushed all my senses binding
them tightly to a collective ground, I met Sweden in a space-time where anti-
gravity pulls everything apart, while giving a speech in favour of solidarity and
other good names.
There was a time when censorship and ignorance were imposed from outside and
a common enemy could be identified. Today there is nobody out-there to be
blamed, but the enemy is “us”, represented by our fears, the prevalent hedonism
and a fake sense of freedom. No connection to the ground anymore…

5. The new shell
Curiosity and restlessness provided the fuel necessary to continue my journey. I
taught myself a new language and studied intensively and diversely during
several years until I could assert that I understood most of the subtle meanings
of the Swedish language.
All Nordic languages are rich in hidden semantics and cultural ambiguities. It’s
neither grammar nor vocabulary that constitutes a great challenge. It took me
two weeks to acquire the level of a secondary school pupil in matters of
grammar and scientific vocabulary. However, the actual difficulty lies in trying
to comprehend meanings that won’t be said. The codified messages of a new
language constitute a hidden barrier for a non-native and it takes a resolute
effort to surpass it.

6. A “licence” to work
As a rule it takes more than ten years to be given the keys to
employment in Sweden, a work permit being in most cases only a
formality, which provides no warrant for de facto access to
employment.
If a jobseeker doesn’t fit inside a pre-set frame, as it was my case as a
liberal woman with a career in the financial business, there is no
immediate solution, the path to an appropriate employment does not
exist.
I went back to university and studied business law, social sciences and
some courses of philology to understand the Nordic culture even
better. This might tell you something about me. I don’t give up easily
and I engage in systematic deconstruction of a problem that must be
solved.

7. Co-habitation with the bizarre
A heap of biases and a ludicrous belief in standardised solutions that for
me appear to be the result of the industrial revolution generate a great
deal of social exclusion in Sweden. It’s so much easier to advise the whole
world on matters that don’t concern you directly than to solve concrete
problems in your own home.
The success of the past can definitely constitute an impediment in the
future, since every period has its own challenges. Sweden is now on the
verge of losing its socio-economic pole position and part of the decline
must be explained by an increased and counterproductive social
categorisation that enlarges the social gaps and intensifies the conflicts
without proposing any credible solutions for a better tomorrow.
I have started to apprehend that I can not run away from the
unreasonable; I must deal with it, use my best skills and contribute to the
change instead of indulging myself in the silence of the misunderstood.

8. Work as form of expression
After finishing a second round of university studies I tried to find a way into the
market of optimistically talented EU-law postgraduates. An acute need for
self-expression oriented my search towards legal writing, editorial work and
of-counselling. I published as well a first book within the field of preliminary
rulings and the application of EU competition law by the Romanian courts.
Despite the fact that my main specialization is Swedish business law, I
completed research studies in other countries’ laws, adopting a comparative
approach to areas of law, where convergence takes place at a global level. I
wrote about the developments of Swedish, EU/EEA, American, Romanian and
Danish law.

9. Framing the future
An unbiased approach to legal writing outside the institutional field or other forms
of conditional funding is the only manner to deliver value in legal science.
My credo is that science in general cannot aim to maintain the status-quo; science
is about moving away from the consensual understanding of a specific matter and
imagining new ways of dealing with challenges that human society has to face.
I am moreover convinced that a good practicing lawyer must be an excellent
legal scientist, a person who understands that justice and injustice come from the
same source, which is the understanding of law in a certain context. A lawyer must
be able to contribute to an accurate understanding of the law.
The institution of law shall be construed as independent from the institutions of the
state, as an abstract understanding of ideals such as justice, order and equality. In
the absence of state, same type of reasoning would define law, exactly as the
absence of a king or of God faith had not conducted to a changed view on these
essential values. Some changes may be artificially induced, but they also exercise
an ephemeral influence. Law is the innate optimizer of human relations.

10. Looking for a match
I look for a match in the category of intelligent professionals who question the
validity of the standards imposed on us with no deeper reflection and engage
pragmatically in the search for viable alternatives.
A home is not a place where you happen to be born or move in for a longer
stay. A home is a place where you have something interesting to say and you
are listened to. As an innate researcher and writer I need a home where the
communication is free of disturbances and time does not pull us apart.
As a communicator I aim to serve a forum where thinking is the norm and
people are accepted as raw realities. This is why we study law to begin with to
be able to understand people as realities and bargain a deal between the raw
real and the political real.
If you think that we can empower each other and find a common home for our
ideals and projects email me and we take it further from there.
