About Me
My background
Anda is a writer, content creator, and data analytics professional whose work weaves together her deep Christian faith, cross-cultural background, and passion for encouraging others through seasons of hardship and growth.
Born in communist Romania and later relocating to the United States as a teenager, she developed a resilient spirit and a grounded trust in God’s sustaining presence—foundations that continue to shape both her personal and professional life. She holds an undergraduate degree in Mathematics and a Master of Business Administration and currently works in data analytics and reporting, where she applies logic, structure, and clarity to complex challenges.
Outside her professional role, she is a poet, photographer, painter, and devotional writer. Much of her creative work emerged from a personal journey through trauma, loss, and spiritual renewal—a season in which she discovered praise as both a refuge and a transformative practice. Her writing explores themes of faith, resilience, healing, and the quiet ways God meets people in their deepest struggles.
She is the author of Every Day a Hallelujah, a devotional rooted in the belief that God’s presence remains steady even when life feels fractured or uncertain. She is also currently developing a book about faith in the workplace, highlighting real stories of believers living out their faith in professional environments.
In addition to her career in analytics and creative pursuits, she enjoys designing worship programs, traveling, cooking, and photography. She lives in Virginia with her husband and their dog and is a proud mother of two grown daughters. Her work is guided by a desire to uplift others, offering encouragement, clarity, and hope through both her professional contributions and her creative expressions.
My Writing
My writing journey began with a journal, encouraged by my therapist as a way to navigate the weight of trauma and loss. From those private pages emerged poetry, and eventually an upcoming devotional book. Writing became more than a coping mechanism—it became a lifeline, a spiritual path, and a record of resilience.
My poetry gives voice to the complexity of healing, the ache of loss, the quiet strength found along the way, and the unwavering faithfulness of a loving God whose presence has sustained me through every challenge.
My Painting and Photography
Through photography and painting, I give voice to the ache of loss, the quiet resilience shaped by struggle, and the healing that unfolds with time—offering praise to the Creator God, who is present in every joy and sorrow.
My work seeks moments of juxtaposition, survival, and unexpected beauty—glimpses of grace and joy even in fractured places.
My Cooking
Cooking, for me, is another form of creativity and care. I gravitate toward simple, homemade recipes that are vegan or vegetarian—nourishing meals made with fresh, whole ingredients. Whether it’s a comforting soup, a vibrant grain bowl, or a one-skillet wonder, I cook with intention—choosing flavors and ingredients that feel grounding and restorative. Like my art, my cooking is guided by intuition and a desire to create something meaningful from the everyday.
My Travel
Travel is one of the greatest sources of inspiration in my creative life. Exploring new places, meeting people with different stories, tasting unfamiliar foods, and witnessing the textures of landscapes and cultures—all of it stirs something deep in me. Travel invites me to slow down, observe, and absorb the beauty in details I might otherwise miss. It expands my perspective and reminds me of the shared threads in our human experience. Much like art, it opens the heart and awakens the senses, offering endless inspiration for reflection, expression, rest, and joy .
