28 year old EU policy expert from Austria based in Brussels.

I am heading the Climate, Trade and Agricultural Policy programme at the EU office of the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, the German Green political foundation. I am focusing mostly on external impacts of EU policies on ODA-countries. Previously, I was the Project Manager for "Connecting Europe", a joint project by the European Policy Centre and Stiftung Mercator, working towards a transnationalisation of policy debates between civil society and EU policymakers. My areas of expertise are civic space, climate, trade, agricultural policy, as well as gender and social inequalities.
I was a policy researcher and advocacy officer for Young Feminist Europe, pursuing an inclusive future for Europe, ensuring an intersectional and just approach to policymaking.
