What I'm looking for

I seek roles in EU policy, advocacy, or strategic communications where I can conduct policy research, support stakeholder engagement, and drive impactful advocacy while growing professionally.

I am an internationally trained political scientist specializing in European affairs, policy analysis, and strategic communication. I hold a Master's in European Studies from Université Libre de Bruxelles with a thesis awarded highest distinction on EU–Asian cooperation.

My experience spans EU policy research, legislative monitoring, policy reporting, and advocacy campaigns, complemented by practical roles in event coordination, communications, and stakeholder engagement. I have represented delegations in major simulations, authoring speeches, position papers and leading negotiations.

I produce and edit multimedia content for outreach, coordinate logistics for events up to 100 participants, and have supported sales and brand engagement roles. I combine strong research and advocacy skills with advanced language abilities to support decision-making.

I am adaptable, results-driven, and eager to contribute to impactful projects where I can apply policy analysis, strategic communication, and stakeholder engagement to advance organisational goals.
