Always curious and often talking at 2x speed, Dinu considers it an absolute privilege to champion the city she loves on a daily basis. 

When she's not telling everyone at the table to wait so she can get a video first, you'll find Dinu pointing out all the horses on a road trip, watching It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (again), or showing someone pictures of her rescue dog and angel baby Moose.
