Hi everyone, I’m Oana.
I am currently pursuing a BSN through Regis University, graduating in December 2026. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Foreign Affairs and European Studies and a master’s in International Relations with a focus on African Studies. Originally from Romania, I moved to Madrid, Spain, for my master’s and have lived in the U.S. for the past 10 years. Throughout my career, I have worked in various states and industries, including governmental institutions, NGOs, and multinational corporations. Fun fact about me: I am trilingual. For the past eight years, I have owned a small business—a medical spa in Loveland, CO.

Lori Rae has been at Trinidad State since 2012.  She serves as the director of the nursing program.
