Welcome!

I serve as a
UN Press Officer at the United Nations, New York City, covering the Sixth Committee (Legal) and the Security Council debates. 

Formerly, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, analyzing European Union politics, institutional discourse, and crisis communication, and a Lecturer (Professeure associée) at the University of Liège, teaching EU politics and institutional discourse to graduate students. I also provided advice as a consultant on public speaking, online teaching, and research storytelling.

I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science and an M.A. in Communication for International Organizations from the University of Liège. Additionally, I will graduate from Johns Hopkins with an M.A. in government, security studies, and intelligence in 2026. 

I speak three languages (English, French and Dutch) and have extensive international experience: I lived in 5 countries in Europe and 3 cities in North America, worked in various multicultural environments, and gave lectures at several European and American (Ivy League) universities.
