Biography

I am a senior social impact and education professional with 15+ years of global experience in the education and cultural sectors. My work focuses on building strategic multi-stakeholder partnerships and advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in higher education.

I have a proven track record of leading institutional sustainability projects, securing high-profile partnerships (including SDG Tent @WEF, ChangeNOW, United Nations Academic Impact and COP), and driving multi-stakeholder initiatives that create systemic change in higher education.

My expertise spans stakeholder engagement, strategy development and strategic foresight, innovative program design, and public speaking. 

I was nominated to join the European Network for Women in Leadership Talent Pool (2025 Cohort), and a member of Catalyst NOW.
