About me

Strategic communicationsAdvocacyResource mobilisationProgramme delivery

I work at the intersection of EU and UN institutions and mission-driven organisations.

Impactful work has the room to grow.

Make important work seen, understood and supported by the people that matter.

I bring over 14 years of experience in humanitarian action, peace and security, and climate change.

Institutional experience

I have implemented programmes in collaboration with DG ECHO, DG INTPA, DG NEAR and DG MENA, and worked with EU Delegations. I also served with the EU Monitoring Mission in Georgia, a CSDP mission.

Areas of expertise

My work spans strategic communications, advocacy, public diplomacy, leadership storytelling, programme delivery and resource mobilisation. I connect field evidence and policy priorities with the audiences and decision-makers who can influence change.

How I work

I take time to understand the context, needs and complexity behind each assignment. Then I work closely with your team to shape practical, tailored support—connecting clear communication with the decisions and delivery needed to make change happen.
