What I'm looking for

I'm looking to advance principled, people-centred policy on humanitarian protection, migration, and asylum across the EU, drawing on experience in institutional policymaking and civil society advocacy.

I've contributed to EU migration policy at the European Commission's DG HOME, supporting AMIF programming and evaluation, the Migration and Asylum Pact's Solidarity Mechanism, and a Commission Implementing Act on Migration Management.

At the Italian Red Cross in Turin, I provided legal and administrative support to asylum seekers, helping people access residency permits, appeals, education, training, housing, and rights-based guidance.

My work with the Red Cross EU Office and a decade of Red Cross service have grounded me in humanitarian advocacy, stakeholder engagement, institutional communication, youth policy, and principled care for vulnerable people.
