I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, researching European Union politics, institutional discourse, and crisis communication, and a Lecturer (Maître de conférences) at the University of Liège where I teach EU politics and crisis discourse to graduate students. I gave lectures at Harvard, Princeton, Amsterdam, and Sofia Universities. I also provide advice as a consultant on public speaking, online teaching, and research storytelling.

I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science - with the additional title of Doctor Europaeus - and an M.A. in International Communication from the University of Liège. Additionally, I will graduate from Johns Hopkins with an advanced M.A. in American government, security studies, and U.S. intelligence in 2025. 

I speak three languages and have extensive international experience: I lived in 5 countries in Europe and North America, and worked in several multicultural environments. I am currently based in Washington, D.C. and regularly travel all around the world. My professional network encompasses renowned scholars in academia and high-ranking officials in EU, U.S., and Belgian governing institutions.
