Curriculum Vitae

Summary
My background is composed of six years of law studies (LL.B, LL.M – Distinction) and one year of political science (M.A), all of them taking place in several universities; it also comprises short professional experiences in international organizations, public bodies, academic institutions and private sector. Lately, I have settled for a governmental position in the law enforcement area where my previous education and training are valued at their most and have the potential of being enhanced; furthermore, my time is also allocated towards ideational contributions in several academic forums. My professional interests refer to academic research and interdisciplinary, holistic approaches; on top of my preoccupations I have placed the European Union policy and law with strong accents on the internal market, competition/regulation and foreign trade areas. As I am a very enthusiastic young professional with confidence in teamwork and diversity, it is said that I am easily adaptable to various environments. Besides this, when it comes to my private life, I enjoy volunteering, mentorship opportunities and sport challenges.
