About me

People, programs and websites β€” I connect the dots.

I'm an international program & project coordinator β€” experienced in educational, cultural and digital projects. Over the past decade I've organized events and trainings with the Robert Schuman Institute across Europe, guided travelers through Budapest as a tour guide, coordinated a Summer University program at the Central European University with 300+ participants, and built websites for small businesses with care.

At first glance, these may sound like different paths, but they've always been connected. I believe that coordination is all about communication and understanding people. It's about connecting the dots the right way. I translate between people and systems. Being a sensitive person gives me the opportunity to tune into projects and understand complex workflows. I genuinely enjoy keeping people, information and everything else aligned. For me, good coordination isn't just about getting things done β€” it's about creating a system where everyone thrives.

I'm a passionate person who wants to make the world a better place. I'm looking for a project where I can use my unique blend of skills to contribute to something meaningful. I'm at my best when I can support meaningful projects that make the world a little better every single day.

What I do

Three things I'm really good at

Program Coordination

I coordinate international programs, courses and events β€” from planning and scheduling to budgets, venues, travel & visa support, grant administration and clear reporting.

  • International, multi-partner projects
  • Full administration & budget control
  • Suppliers, venues & partner liaison

People & Partner Experience

I make sure the people involved in a project feel supported, informed and genuinely welcome β€” whether they are participants, clients, customers, partners, suppliers or team members. My superpower is finding a way to everyone's heart.

  • 1,500+ people supported across programs and projects
  • Client, participant and partner communication
  • Travel, visa and technical support
  • Warm, caring and reliable communication

Digital Operations & Websites

I help teams keep their online presence and internal workflows clear, organized and up to date. From websites and webshops to newsletters, content updates and admin systems, I enjoy making digital processes easier to manage.

  • WordPress and WooCommerce content updates
  • Website and webshop coordination
  • Newsletters and program communication
