Currently, I occupy the post of Headmaster at Technical College of Arts and Crafts „Constantin Brâncuşi”, Craiova. Being the Headmaster of a college implies a lot of obligations and responsibilities, and this is the reason that makes me to become more involved into different activities developed at local and regional level. I have participated at many European projects in the last years; I’m also a member of the Regional Employers Oltenia and of the Approval and Training Committee of Adults.
Our college is named after the father of modern architecture, Constantin Brancusi, and this is a good reason to be honored and to develop under the name of “brancusieni” multiple scholar and extracurricular activities. We are hoping to offer to our students the possibility of having a good flight to infinity and to Europe.
