As part of HCWH Europe, I am responsible for developing and managing the established healthcare professionals (HCP) networks, including Nurses Climate Challenge (NCC), Doctors for Greener Healthcare (DfGH), and Pharmacists for Greener Healthcare (PfGH). In my role, I also support the Climate-smart Healthcare team by engaging with the networks on climate-focused initiatives, such as Race to Zero. My main goal is to facilitate the exchange of information and best practices while amplifying collaboration and unlocking opportunities for the HCWH Europe healthcare professionals’ community.
Prior to joining HCWH Europe, I worked on mental health-related policies and projects in a European umbrella association, representing mental healthcare professionals. Before that, I worked as a consultant on various initiatives linked to social innovation. With an MSc in International Business and a Bachelor's Degree in Management and Communication, I focused my research on EU Environmental Law and Sustainability. I have always been interested in understanding and addressing the interdependence of environmental and human health. This has fuelled my mission to contribute to building a fairer, healthier, and sustainable planet.
In my spare time, you might find me listening to music and podcasts, playing board games with my friends, or hitting the trails for a nature fix.
