At Questfield
I joined Questfield International College in 2020 as an English Drama Teacher. In my current role as Drama Event Coordinator, I lead our national and international competition entries. I focus on creating performance opportunities that build student confidence, ensuring our drama programme remains a vibrant and essential part of school life.
My approach
I believe drama is a powerful tool for self-discovery and social development. In my classroom, learning happens through games and immersive role-play, creating a safe space where children feel brave enough to find their voices. I provide varied resources and props that invite students to imagine, recreate, and think critically. For me, curiosity and expressivity are at the heart of education, allowing every child to develop independence while interpreting the world around them.
Beyond the classroom
When I’m not teaching, I dedicate my time to writing poetry as a proud member of the Romanian Writers’ Society (Societatea Scriitorilor din România). I also enjoy exploring the local art scene and finding inspiration for my next creative project.
