Raluca moved to London, United Kingdom in 2020 from Ontario, Canada. She graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University with a Master of Environmental Studies degree. During her time at university, she worked as an administrative assistant, research assistant, teaching assistant, a student mentor, and performed outreach for a military history centre. See her LinkedIn profile for more information about her past experience in the academic world.
After graduating in May 2021, she saw a gap in the market due to COVID-19 that led her to start Rotra Retrieval. She wanted to help academics and others with their research through retrieving documents in the United Kingdom that could not be found online.
Since then, she has had appointments at various institutions and has helped more than 100 clients from many countries around the world.
