With over 14 years of experience working for different websites, I’ve become an expert in eCommerce Business Development.

I hold a Bachelor of Commerce degree in International Relations and Affairs from the Academy of Economic Studies in Bucharest, a Masters of Business Communication degree from the National School of Political Science and Public Administration.

Having finished school, I realized that all the theoretical information will not help if I don’t learn to put it into practice. From assistant to salesperson, to warehouse coordinator and sales manager, I experienced a lot of work environments and learned many practical things.

When I got the opportunity to work for an US based company, one of the biggest online children clothing stores, I soon realized that working from home is perfect for me! I initially started with Customer Ssupport and soon learned to: manage the products catalog, optimize landing pages and homepage, sync inventory with marketplaces, the importance of KPIs, email marketing campaigns, reporting – pretty much all the aspects of running a store from A-Z.

It was all new, exciting and fascinating, so I decided to DIG deeper and expand my knowledge into what it takes to make a site work and be successful.  Working alongside my husband, we decided we wanted to share our expertise and knowledge with as many companies as possible.

We founded eCommerce-today.com and became Shopify Experts, helping businesses big or small, building websites from zero and offering free advice to many people that have no budget for agencies and are just starting out a store. 

Today I’ve become proficient in working with Shopify, Klaviyo, Google Merchant, Analytics, Search Console, Facebook Business Manager and hundreds of apps, extensions and services.

Through eCommerce-today.com, I’ve helped many businesses grow and succeed. From designing better user experiences to running email campaigns and improving SEO, I love finding solutions that work. Helping small businesses and new entrepreneurs has been a big part of our mission. We offer free advice and affordable services to make sure anyone can compete in the fast-changing online world.

I also focus on understanding what each client needs and creating plans that bring real results. Whether it’s boosting sales, keeping customers loyal, or making work easier, I’m proud to see how our work helps businesses grow.

When I’m not working on client projects, I spend time learning about new tools and trends in eCommerce. This helps me stay ahead and offer the best solutions to every challenge.

Outside of work, I believe in living a balanced and healthy life. Sports have always been a big part of my routine. I do CrossFit regularly and used to enjoy trail running. Staying active keeps me healthy and energized, helping me tackle challenges both in and out of work.

I also value time spent in nature. There’s nothing better than stepping outside, breathing fresh air, and enjoying the calmness it brings. It’s the perfect antidote to stress and a reminder to slow down and appreciate the world around us.

Social connections are just as important to me. Spending time with friends and family, laughing, and sharing moments together is what keeps life fun and fulfilling. It’s these connections that inspire me and keep me grounded.

I firmly strongly with Zig Ziglar’s quote: “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.”
