What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my EU policy research, briefing, advocacy, and stakeholder engagement experience to evidence-based work on regulatory, sustainability, or public policy issues.

I'm supporting legal teams at O’Melveny in Brussels by monitoring EU regulatory, competition, and sustainability legislation and turning developments into client intelligence, briefings, and updates.

Previously at Harvard Business School, I delivered 20+ international conferences, workshops, and research programmes annually, coordinating faculty, government agencies, universities, and partners including the World Bank. I managed concurrent projects and budgets while making research accessible through communications, presentations, and speaker resources.

My advocacy and communications work has advanced statewide legislation, built coalitions, and supported public-facing campaigns across social justice, public media, and cross-border entrepreneurship. I bring an MPA focused on environmental governance and sustainability policy, along with applied research and municipal consulting experience.
