Team Leader - EU Mobility Programme for Myanmar (EMPM)

Expert and passionate about International Relations, I would like to deepen my knowledge in geopolitics.
I hold a bachelor's degree in International and Diplomatic Affairs and a master's degree in European Studies and Politics.

Since 2021 I work in the European Commission in DG REFORM, the DG responsible for structural reforms in the EU Member States.

Actively studying Ukrainian since a year, I would like to work for UA access to EU and for its support in general.

In my free time I prepare marathons, I play guitar and I follow Fc Inter matches going often to the stadium in Milan :)

I am a Results Based Management specialist certified in Projects in Controlled Environments (PRINCE2) qualified with a Master of Science in Development and Project Planning. I am passionate about results, results accountability and planning for results and driven by project delivery aptly named 'deliverology' a term coined by Michael Barber in his book: Instruction to deliver. I designed the first ever Presidential Delivery Unit in Malawi which polited results measurement in the Public Service. I have also worked in Monitoring and Evaluation, trained in 11th European Development Fund contractual and financial procedures, the European Union's Practical Guide and managed Programme Estimates and a Multi Annual Programme Estimate. I have a background of budget formulation and reforms so I can manage transitions through change management.

I’m a development professional with hands-on experience in international cooperation and programme implementation, most recently through my work with the UNDP’s Tax for SDGs Initiative. I supported coordination across 17 African countries, strengthened stakeholder engagement, and contributed to aligning tax systems with the Sustainable Development Goals.

With a Master’s in Development Studies and a background in International Relations and Economics, I bring strong analytical, organisational, and intercultural skills. My personal journey —from Morocco and Ghana to Palestine, Southeast Asia, and Latin America— has shaped my strong commitment to social justice and sustainable development.

I recently completed the Introduction to EU International Partnerships course and am currently pursuing the Google Project Management Certificate. I’m actively looking for opportunities to contribute to international cooperation through meaningful roles in institutions like the European Commission or the UN system, supporting the design and implementation of impactful, results-oriented programmes — particularly in Latin America.
