PROFILE
Since I received my Law degree 20 years ago, my
career has evolved in three different areas: higher
education, communications and humanitarian
law.
Three traits that define me personally and
professionally:
Passion: I strive when the vision of a project
aligns with my personal values and beliefs, as
is the case with UN Live.
Curiosity has been the key driver of many
professional initiatives I have embarked onfrom studying law to studying fundraising,
from making a short movie for Fulbright to

Creativity. As a part time photographer, I try to
convey stories through images
