Co-teaching a course on judges, courts and judicial decisionmaking within the Faculty of Laws

CommunityXP is a team of young visionaries. We believe that in the next 5 years all organisations will have online communities, including public and educational institutions. Find out more about who we are and what we offer at http://communityxp.co.uk

Within the company I work as a community management consultant, with a focus on online communities that promote e-learning, e-mentoring and educational goals. I am also a data-driven people-oriented community management trainer - a nice mix between my experience of coordinating community management interns and my academic inclination towards training and mentoring. So if you think your current community manager would need some help in improving their understanding of the product, their CM techniques, or you need some external evaluation of their performance, drop me a line.

JudicialPhilosophy is an online aggregator that presents latest news, opportunities, papers, calls, and events for those who care about judges and judicial behaviour.

YourCRIB (Your Community of Romanians in Britain), an online platform of Romanian students and alumni from UK Universities.

I aim to maintain the authenticity of this community by answering the needs of its members with appropriate events and initiatives. This community will only exist as long as it is truly needed. I therefore initiated a survey in Nov 2011 to enquire upon our members' wishes and aspirations, and together with a team of core representatives from each university we will strive to implement ideas suggested by our stakeholders.
