catalina Gardescu
I work with individuals and organizations who want to create with purpose, communicate with clarity, and grow in ways that honor human values.
With over 20 years of experience in international education, communications, and strategic leadership, I bring empathy, analytical thinking, and creativity to every project.
I am passionate about lifelong learning, inclusion, mental health, and turning meaningful ideas into action. I prefer working as a freelancer in flexible formats, contributing to initiatives that make a real impact at a rhythm that respects both people and purpose.

Extended experience aligning technology to the organization’s mission, creating technology strategy, and directing its implementation.

Developed a Framework that supports the implementation of a Data Protection Culture in schools.
In today’s world where “data is the new oil” I believe we would be setting our students and staff short by not educating them in ways that protect their personal data and in its conscious and efficient use.
