Having recently switched sectors, I work at one of the leading tech companies, Meta, and strive to create meaningful impact on the Meta community through optimizing operations and processes.
Over the past 8 years, I managed international projects in the multilateral sphere and built a strong professional background in project management through working at intergovernmental and political organizations such as the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) and Women Political Leaders (WPL) among others, as well as an expertise in global public policy and multilateral cooperation.
