I have always been passionate about the creative industry. At the age of 5 I was adopted from Bucharest, Romania and one of my earliest memories, on the aeroplane over listening and singing the tune to Wanna Be Startin’ Something, Pretty Young Thing, before being able to speak fluent English. Many childhood videos dancing to the songs of Michael Jackson, Tina Turner and Stevie Wonder.

Growing up I trained as a dancer have worked professionally performing on stage, TV and film. I have worked with renowned companies such as Universal Studios Japan & Singapore, Step Up All In; Dubai, Team Angelica.

One of my proudest achievements was being the assistant director, choreographer and videographer for Freaks of The Funhouse Live at MTV Studios Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore. I was responsible for creating and editing the post-production filmed elements that were integrated with the live stage show, which involved dancers jumping on and off stage through a screen during multiple quick change routine performance number.

Whilst working as a performer I started my own video production company called
#MESSproductions. I have produced video content for X Factor’s Anton Stephens Vlog, Team Angelica BROMANTICS The Musical, The Runaround Kids – London’s Finest Vintage Experience, Wolfpack USA – RuPaul MOCK Episode Live Competition.
As well video content I have also worked creating motion logo’s both for the A Factor and also the opening motion vinyl logo effect for the Runaround Kids promotional video content.
In the future I have hopes of launching reelCREATIVE© an online digital content creation production company and teaching platform giving opportunities for those less fortunate in being @reelCREATIVE!
