She came to prominence internationally with a gold medal double in the long jump and triple jump at the 2013 World Youth Championships in Athletics – becoming only the second athlete to achieve that feat, after her compatriot Cristine Spataru. She ended that year with personal bests of for the long jump and for the triple jump.

In her 2014 season, she set a series of personal bests, including for the long jump, 11.85 seconds for the 100 metres and 7.40 seconds for the 60 metres.

Iusco is currently serving a two-year competition ban set to run from February 2024 to January 2026 in relation to an anti-doping rule violation after testing positive for furosemide in April 2023. Iusco's initial reprimand and no period of ineligibility issued by the Romania's National Anti-Doping Organisation was overturned by CAS following an appeal by WADA. All of her results backdated to April 2023 were disqualified.
