About

Ambitious, Eager to learn, Curious with a Journalistic mindset. I have a wide range of knowledge about miscellaneous subjects. This helps me in being creative and to think outside the box. Therefore I see myself as a constructive person who can help an organization or a company forward. Professional experiences in journalism, advocacy, communication and fundraising taught me a lot. I am keen to learn and I pick up things very easily. Therefore I am certain I can provide an added value. Mix these experiences with my educational background in International Politics, Law and Development Cooperation and you get an interesting cocktail.
