EUAA Legal Administrator

About

I am an Italian-qualified lawyer with a specialization in International Law and experience in EU litigation and legal advisory work across a wide range of legal fields. I currently serve as Legal Administrator at the European Union Agency for Asylum, where I provide legal advice and representation before national and EU courts. My professional background includes practising law in Italy and contributing to strategic litigation initiatives advancing fundamental rights. Through my work with organizations such as StraLi for strategic litigation, I have developed a deep understanding of trauma-informed practice and the legal challenges faced by communities affected by racial, social, and economic injustice. I have learnt how to deliver complex legal concepts clearly to diverse audiences while maintaining accuracy and empathy under pressure. Combining strong legal research and drafting skills with communication and training experience, my goal is to bridge rigorous legal analysis with transparency, accessibility, and commitment to justice.
