I have a degree in International Development from the University of Vienna, Austria. Following my graduation I worked with a number of governmental and non-governmental organizations in Austria. My professional experience includes working with UN agencies, including the UN Democracy Fund and the United Nations Population Fund in Bangladesh, as well as the German Development Cooperation GIZ in Vietnam. My roles have included working in project management, communications, knowledge management, social and behavioural change communication and advocacy. After more than four years working in Asia I moved back to Europe and started working as a Communicatios Officer for the IDEAS project. 

My interests include work on gender and development, sexual and reproductive health, as well as youth empowerment.
