Anca Teodora-Maria currently is enrolled in two Master programmes, one in International Public Affairs at the Faculty of Political Science and one in International Relations at the Faculty of History, University of Bucharest. Teodora recently started working for Engie Romania, within the department of Public Affairs. In this position, she has become particularly interested in how energy security issues shape international relations, particularly in terms of how governments seek to diversify their energy supply. Her academic interests are related to international development, gender studies, more specifically gender mainstreaming in public policy making, trends in inequality in Romania and the manner in which international organizations deal with vulnerable groups. Besides the academic sphere, Teodora is also passionate about volunteering, as over the years she had the chance to be a volunteer in two Romanian NGOs active in the field of education, ”Școala de Valori” and ”Hands Across Romania.”
