About
Communications Consultant
I am a journalist and communications expert with extensive international experience. I have worked as a correspondent in Belgium, UK, Spain, Uganda, and Thailand, reporting on politics, sustainability, and human rights. Most recently, she served as Senior Communication Coordinator at the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Poland, where I wrote stories and produced videos about Ukrainian refugees. I recently moved to Zurich and set up my own communications consultancy using my journalistic and communications skills to help start ups, especially those who make an impact in their visibility and media relations. I am fluent in English, German, Spanish, intermediate French, and native Polish.
