About Maria

I help organizations translate complex policy issues into clear, actionable deliverables — including policy briefs, research reports, evaluations, and stakeholder communications.

With over 6 years of experience across the EU institutions, the UN, and civil society, I bring both a deep understanding of EU affairs and funded projects, and hands-on expertise in project management, policy analysis, strategic writing, and stakeholder engagement.

I’m available for consulting, writing assignments, and project support.
