Anca Trifan's story is a remarkable narrative of achieving the American Dream through resilience and perseverance. Arriving in the US in 2003 with only $150, she left behind her familiar life in Romania for a future filled with unknowns. Raised in a small Transylvanian town, Anca's early experiences in her father's repair shop and as a multi-talented radio station worker laid the foundation for her passion in audio-visual (AV) production. Despite initial hardships in America, including an expensive limo ride mistaken for a taxi and walking miles for groceries, her resolve never wavered. Anca's journey took her from New York to Los Angeles, where she immersed herself in the AV and event production industry, traditionally dominated by men. Now based in Boise, Idaho, Anca has established a successful event planning and production company. Her commitment extends beyond business success; through her podcast, EVENTS: demystified, she mentors women and amplifies voices in the AV industry, advocating for inclusivity and empowering women with knowledge and representation. Anca's life exemplifies the essence of the American Dream, marked by steadfast determination, a passion for AV production, and a dedication to fostering inclusivity and mentorship.
