I have a decade long experience and expertise of working on the EU policies vis-a-vis Eastern Partnership and Central Asian countries on human rights and democratization. In my current capacity I engage with the the EU institutions, monitor and analyse the EU policies towards Eastern Partnership, Russia and Central Asian countries and coordinate advocacy actions targeting EU and other international institutions.

I authored several publications on the EU’s human rights and democracy policies in these regions. Prior to that I worked at the Open Society European Policy Institute in Brussels, and for the European Socialist Party, assisting in the 2009 European Parliament Election campaign. I was involved in the pan-European youth network AEGEE, and served one year as its Brussels director for European Institutions.
