En résumé

I have experience as a language teacher and in project and community management both in the academic and the NGO sector. Throughout my previous jobs, I had to speak regularly in public and write to different audiences (reviews, summaries, calls for project, research papers, articles etc.) in French and in English. I had the chance to work in an international framework while co-organising a science festival, workshops and conferences. Passionate about how digital technologies are shaping the field of education, I am committed to gender equality.

    2011 - 2015 Writing, communicating, sharing news that form the way we see the world is a passion for me. That is the reason why I was honoured to have the chance to start an internship, which became a longer commitment at kitekinto.hu, an independent Hungarian news site.
    While working at kitekinto.hu, I did a report in Uganda about the forced displacement of the Batwa community and wrote up to 22 articles, mostly about development and gender equality with special attention to the Millennium Development Goals of the UN.
    My everyday task consisted in finding new ways to engage the Hungarian public with humanitarian issues
    and editing articles and creating photo galleries at kitekinto.hu.
