I was born on 9th. December 1975 in Romania. I grew up in the city of Bucharest, where I finished my studies.
As a child I was quite athletic, and was involved in many different sports, including: martial arts, skating, dancing and aerobics. I even had the opportunity to perform stunts in a few movie productions.
In 1999 I finished the Sport Institute as a teacher and gymnastics trainer. I began heavy weight training in 1995 first, in order to become more powerful and to have good overall fitness and shape.

The following is a list of some of the competitions in which I competed:

• 1995 5th place at the Juniors World Championship (IFBB), 57kg. category
• 1996 5th place at the Juniors World Championship (IFBB), 57kg. category
• 1998-2002 1th place at the Balchanik Championship (IFBB), Fitness over 167cm.
• 2002 4th place at the European Championship (IFBB), Fitness over 167cm.
• 2003 3th place at the European Championship (IFBB), Fitness over 167cm.
• 1998-2007 1th place at the National Championship, Fitness over 167cm.
• 2003 8th place at the World Championship (IFBB), Fitness over 167cm.
• 2007 2th place at the World Championship (NAC) Fitness open.
• 2007 6th place at the Miss Universe (NAC) Fitness open.

My daily routine:

I wake up every morning around of 7:30am and begin my new day with a short jogging session. This makes me feel fresh and energized; not for the loose bodyfat. My breakfast is usually the same everyday: oatmeal with skim yogurt, some fruits, and sometimes boiled eggwhites.
After all running and eating, I go to my gym where I work. I teach three or four gymnastic aerobic classes per day. After, I feel like a squeezed lemon, but I need to have my own training, which lasts about one and a half hours (heavy-weights, flexibility, fitness elements, etc).
My lunch is around a 2:00pm and is, in fact, the most important meal of the day for me. I eat a lot of beef and chicken meat; boiled or roasted, salads, bean, rice, soy, broccoli, vegetables, and even a glass of white wine to make it all the more tasty.
In the afternoon, I have my other aerobics classes (Tae-Bo, step-aerobics, and more..). I finish my day with my own aerobics training (40minutes of high intensity running)
Dinner always relaxes me because when I’m finished, I have nothing to do. During dinner, I like to watch a nice movie (I even have a TV in the kichen).
To end my day I try to recharge my batteries for the next day, with a good deep sleep.
