I studied Civil Engineering in the United States though a Fulbright Scholarship at Michigan Technological University. Furthermore, I have obtained an MSc in Civil Engineering from Virginia Polytechnic institute and State University. I also hold an MBA from ENPC in Paris and an MA in International Politics from CERIS in Brussels. During my professional career I have worked as a civil engineer on PPP projects and as an administrator for the European Commission in Brussels on issues related to competitiveness, innovation and research. I have also worked as an officer at the Housing Finance Corporation. Since 2021 I have been working as a Coordination Officer for the Sustainable Development Directorate of DG Growth of the Ministry of Finance where I am primarily dealing with issues related to the implementation of the European Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals.
