They say of themselves that they choose to breathe naturally, to take their time, to contemplate, analyse, think, feel and create. With the mind, the soul, the eyes and the hands, mindful of detail. Sometimes breaking the strictest rules, other times honouring the harmonies. Thinking of the children who will find in the pages of a book a wonderful world or a harsh reality, a dream, a model, a feeling, the Cartea Ta publishing house dedicates its time and energy. Thinking of the adults who have something to tell, of those who will savour a story, a tale, who will make a stirring discovery. For a warm, person-to-person meeting, for meticulous tailoring with the material chosen by the client, cut to the right measure. For each author in turn. Cartea Ta, a publisher, editorial services provider and bookshop, is a partner with whom we have built close ties and carried out many projects together.

She is known for her comic and dramatic roles, including Mercedes in „Metoda" and Crina in „The Life, Death and Resurrection of Mr Valentin Ionescu" (directed by Adrian Iclenzan), Sanzonetta in „Edward Gant" (directed by Dragoș Mușoiu), Mrs Gângu in „Salba Dracului" (directed by Alexandru Dabija), little Ema in „Vrabia" and Valeria in „Regina nopții" (directed by Leta Popescu), Marghiolița in „O repetiție moldovenească" (directed by Cristian Ban) and Paula in „Acasă la tata" (directed by Mimi Brănescu).
