What I'm looking for

I’m eager to apply my legal expertise and policy knowledge to impactful work at the intersection of law, technology, and European policy.

At the European Commission, I drafted policy texts, briefings, and speeches, and supported meeting preparation as a Blue Book Trainee in DGCNECT.C.1.

I also liaised with the Destination Earth team on AI model licensing and co-coordinated the Career Subcommittee, including its weekly meetings, career events, and Job Fair for EU Institution Trainees.

At the Delegation of the Basque Country to the EU, I drafted reports on AI, digitalization, industry, and competitiveness. I participated in interregional network meetings and prepared minutes and follow-up reports.

As a Junior Legal Advisor at HIRU Abokatuak – Erreklamatu, I handled consumer claims related to air transport, negotiated passenger compensation agreements with international airlines, and designed and implemented software solutions to automate repetitive tasks.
