Support to Civil Society in Combatting corruption

Having graduated with a First Class BA (Hons) degree in Spanish and Portuguese, with experience gained from current roles, I have become an excellent communicator with intercultural awareness, research skills, as well as extensive proficiency in Microsoft Office and other technologies.
Currently seeking to build a career in areas relating to human rights with various international focuses.

Protection International (PI) strives to empower human rights defenders (HRDs) in ensuring their own security, rather than fostering a reliance on external actors and emergency interventions.

I am a mid-level law enforcement and public administration professional with over 20 years of experience in operational leadership, police training, and international cooperation. As a Kriminalhauptkommissar and graduate in Public Administration (Dipl.-Verwaltungswirt FH), I have successfully led teams, managed projects, and contributed to both national and EU-level initiatives.

My professional focus lies in bridging operational expertise with strategic objectives—especially in areas such as international police cooperation, capacity building, and the implementation of EU internal security standards. I have participated in EU and UN missions in post-conflict environments and served as a certified CEPOL trainer for European law enforcement cooperation and leadership development.

I bring strong interpersonal and intercultural skills, combined with hands-on experience in Twinning, TAIEX, and institutional networking. I am committed to supporting resilient, transparent, and effective public institutions—especially through training, project coordination, and international knowledge exchange.

Fluent in German and English, with working knowledge of Italian, I am open to international assignments and motivated to contribute to collaborative, future-oriented solutions within the European security and governance landscape.
