Who I am
I am a doctoral student in the School of Communication
Studies, currently working on my dissertation prospectus and checking out
the job market. About four years ago, I came to the U.S. from Romania, where
I graduated with a diploma in Sociology and worked as a sociologist for a
couple of years. Stephen Covey's book (7 principles of highly successful
people) and my own observations on the (sometimes incredible) frequency of
communication problems made me wanting to study communication scientifically.
Here I am, after for years and with the perspective of becoming soon a Doctor
in Communication! I learned a lot, and still feel that the question that
brought me here (why are so many communication problems?) is only starting
to be clarified.
I first designed this web page as an exercise for a class that I taught (Foundations
of Communication). Later, it became a way of studying personal web pages,
and now it is my voice here, in the U.S., and around the world.
I will put up some pictures here soon.
