What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can support public affairs strategy and legislative work—monitoring policy, drafting briefs and amendments, and coordinating stakeholders—while contributing strong communications and event organisation to help teams deliver results.

I’m a public affairs professional who builds connections between decision-makers and the business community. In my role at METI, I managed institutional relations to promote business leaders’ interests with public and private stakeholders while shaping public affairs strategy.

I also bring hands-on experience in legislative monitoring and practical political coordination. I monitored national, European, and international legislation, and helped organise political meetings and parliamentary gatherings to support ongoing policy work.

Earlier, I served as Cabinet Assistant for the Ministry of Culture at the City Hall of Paris 7th District, where I organised high-impact meetings at embassies, breakfasts, and symposiums. I managed public relations and represented the institution in public and cultural settings, while drafting speeches and position papers.

Across my experience supporting elected officials and policy teams, I’ve developed a strong ability to manage legislative files—monitoring bills, drafting amendments, and writing notes and reports on legislative proposals. I’m now especially motivated by roles that combine public affairs strategy, legislative research, and effective communications with stakeholders.
