Profile:

I joined CARE in 2014. Based in the EU office, I seek to increase the gender dimension in EU development cooperation and humanitarian aid, and work on issues as diverse as migration, humanitarian-development nexus, budgets and climate change.

Before joining CARE, I worked as Advocacy and Communication Officer for VOICE, the European network of humanitarian NGOs. In 2009, I completed my PhD at the Conflict Research Group in Ghent, focusing on livelihoods, integration and transnationalism in protracted refugee situations, for which I spent a lot of time on the fascinating Thai-Burmese border.
