About

I’m a multilingual professional with over 10 years of experience in European projects, international cooperation, and public policy. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across universities, government institutions, and private sector — always driven by a commitment to building bridges across countries, sectors, and ideas. Whether coordinating complex EU-funded initiatives, designing new programmes, or fostering cross-border partnerships, I bring a mix of strategic thinking, cultural sensitivity, and hands-on project management.
