Experience and commitment at the service of every colleague
22 Years of Experience at the EP
Two decades spent listening to colleagues' concerns across various roles at the European Parliament — an in-depth knowledge of how the administration works and how to get things done.
S&D Staff Representatives Coordinator
As former coordinator for the S&D Group Staff Representatives, I acquired the experience and know-how to navigate complex dialogues with management and deliver real, concrete results for colleagues.
Mental Health — Acting Proactively
Mental health isn't a 'perk' — it's the paramount foundation of our daily lives. I advocate for proactive mental health support that addresses stressors before they become crises.
Fairness for All Categories
Whether you are an AD, AST, or Contract Agent, your role is vital to the EP's success. I stand for fairness in treatment across all categories — no colleague should feel left behind or undervalued.
Mentoring the New Generation
Our newer colleagues bring fresh perspectives that are vital for our future. I stand for a Staff Committee that actively listens to the next generation and integrates their specific needs into our core mission.
Dialogue as the Key to Change
Change happens through dialogue, not just demands. My priority is to sit with the administration to sensitise them to the day-to-day realities of our staff — constructive engagement to ensure your voice is understood.
