I design and deliver workshops, policy events and networking sessions to support social innovators and ecosystem stakeholders
Project management
I coordinate multi-stakeholder projects, manage timelines, assess performance metrics and ensure projects are delivered within budget, within scope and on-time.

I develop and shape project ideas, write grant proposals, conduct funder research and evaluate project proposals on behalf of institutions like the OECD or the European Commission.
My recent projects

Beyond pink-collar jobs for women and the social economy
Project, research & drafting lead
This report uncovers the challenges women face in the social economy, spotlighting how “pink-collar” jobs still dominate despite progress in other areas. It provides a roadmap for diversifying women’s roles into growing sectors like digital and green industries while advancing gender equality in leadership and pay.
Social Impact Measurement for the Social and Solidarity Economy
Mapping exercise lead & drafting
Social impact measurement can help organisations understand the added. value generated by their activities, in the pursuit of their mission and beyond. Drawing on a mapping exercise and good practice examples from over 33 countries, this international policy guide navigates how policy makers can support social impact measurement for the social and solidarity economy by: (i) improving the policy framework, (ii) delivering guidance, (iii) building evidence and (iv) supporting capacity.
