Hello! I’m Thomas, a Swiss-based student advocate and communications enthusiast with a passion for democracy, education, and children's rights. I combine hands-on activism with practical experience in policy outreach, academic research, and cross-cultural collaboration thanks to roles with UNICEF and international organizations. I’m driven by curiosity, collaboration, and clear communication to translate complex topics into accessible actions that help communities thrive. I love leading and learning: I’ve coordinated Model United Nations activities, authored publications, and contributed to programs that promote critical thinking and media literacy. I enjoy turning ideas into messages people can act on, whether through advocacy, writing, or design. I’m excited to continue blending advocacy with strategic communication to drive positive change in education, policy, and society.
