About Melisa

I help organisations, consultancies, NGOs, and education focused teams turn research, communication, and stakeholder engagement into clear, practical outputs.

With a background in Political Science, EU affairs, policy research, strategic communications, and international project coordination, I support projects that need both analytical thinking and strong execution. I can help with market research, policy research, B2G and G2B strategy, stakeholder mapping, lead generation, pitch development, content writing, report drafting, social media support, event coordination, and digital communication.

What makes me stand out is my cross sector profile. I have worked across consultancy, education, youth mobility, NGOs, and international projects, combining research skills with practical communication and project management experience. I am also multilingual, with professional experience in multicultural environments, which allows me to communicate effectively with different audiences and stakeholders.

I usually support projects such as:

Policy and market research reports
EU affairs and B2G research briefs
Stakeholder mapping and outreach support
Strategic communication materials
Blog posts, website content, and LinkedIn content
Pitch decks and business development materials
Event planning and coordination
Erasmus+, youth mobility, and education project support

I bring a reliable, adaptable, and detail oriented approach to every project, with a strong focus on producing clear deliverables that are useful, well structured, and aligned with the client’s goals.
