✍🏻 My writing

My work in public affairs and communications involves a great deal of writing. Over the years, I have written policy papers, articles, press releases, speeches, newsletters, scripts and countless blog posts, all of which focus on making EU policy and technical topics accessible to policymakers, stakeholders and wider audiences.

Since 2018, I’ve been Director of Public Affairs and Communication at the Society of Audiovisual Authors (SAA) in Brussel. I have written around 70 blog posts on topics such as authors’ rights, AI policy, copyright, and the cultural and creative sectors in the EU. Before that, from 2010 to 2017, I was Policy and Advocacy Adviser at Social Platform, a civil society alliance of nearly 50 pan-European NGO networks working for social justice and fundemental rights in the EU. During those years, I wrote over 60 blog posts about human rights, equality and migration.

👣 My journey

Since 2018, I am a Public Affairs and Communication Director, advocating for the interest of collective management organisations in Europe representing authors’ rights. Screenwriters and directors’ main concern is the impact of the digital environment, online platforms and the emergence of Generative AI on their livelihood. In response, I align policy content with clear messaging to inform EU decision makers on how to address copyright, media policy and cultural diversity within the modern digital market.

Before, I spent 8 years as the ‘spider in the web’ of a leading network of social NGOs. In this capacity, I provided policy analysis and advocated for social rights and equality on behalf of 50 European organisations. I engaged with high level EU officials and politicians, trade associations and other interest groups. Concurrently, I completed my university degrees in international migration. As I was departing, I spearheaded efforts to promote digital inclusion, exploring how technology can advance social justice and contribute to societal changes.

A decade of experience with civil society and human rights led me to move to Brussels in 2010. The year before, I was a programme manager advocating for sexual and reproductive health and rights during the Swedish EU Presidency. I was offered the role thanks to my experience working for the Swedish LGBT federation, which was where I started my career in 2005. As the right hand to the President, I learned the ins and outs of advocacy and policymaking. I drafted positions, met with ministers, MPs and prominent experts.

As a student, I engaged in activism and volunteer work. I started as a youth leader within the local community, then as a regional peer-to-peer speaker in schools and soon I immersed myself in various board positions and managing diverse national projects.
