I immigrated to the San Francisco Bay Area from Romania in 1998, and then moved to Carmichael in 1999. Its convenient location between the Pacific Ocean and the mountains is one of the many reasons why I love my community. I embrace the outdoor lifestyle Carmichael offers. I enjoy river walking, fishing and biking. I also referee soccer games for the Carmichael Soccer Club and other local clubs.

As a native Romanian, one of my favorite philanthropic activities is serving as president of the not-for-profit organization LEaRN — Learn English for Romanian Natives. Since 2008, this organization has shipped more than 6,000 books to people of Romania who are learning English.

Working for Allstate is more than a job for me. I have seen customers’ lives change for the better as a result of an insurance purchase. I am proud to assist customers with their insurance needs and strive to help make the claims process seamless.
