I’m a culturally curious, multilingual professional focused on intercultural exchange, education, and community outreach. I work with non-profit organizations and art spaces to organize events, build partnerships, and create engaging social media content. My recent projects include supporting centers across Belgium and Belgium-based initiatives, as I explore how art and diplomacy can foster understanding and collaboration. In my work, I emphasize inclusive, trauma-informed approaches, empowering diverse voices and using culture as a tool for learning and social impact. I’m passionate about building welcoming, safe environments that encourage dialogue among people of different languages and backgrounds, and I strive to nurture empathy, communication, and responsible leadership through collaborative projects.
