Work is one of my core values.
Since January 2022, I work as Executive Director of the European Union of Jewish Students (EUJS), based in Brussels. The European Union of Jewish Students is the umbrella organisation for 35 national Jewish student unions in Europe and the FSU.
EUJS envisions a vibrant, sustainable Jewish communal life in Europe with strong youth and student involvement. It seeks to strengthen Jewish communities and European society through Jewish student activism and advocacy. Therefore, EUJS connects peer-lead, independent Jewish student unions throughout Europe and supports them in fulfilling the aspirations of the Jewish people, developing its religious, spiritual, cultural and social heritage, and ensuring its continuity.
From April 2019 until January 2022, I worked as Public Affairs Officer for the European Jewish Congress (based in Brussels). This association is the umbrella organisation of 42 National Jewish Communities in Europe. The EJC is combatting antisemitism throughout the continent and works to develop and maintain Jewish life in Europe. One of the EJC’s main goals is preserving Jewish Heritage and the memory of the Holocaust.
In January 2020, I was part to the organisation of the Fifth World Holocaust Forum ‘Remembering the Holocaust, fighting Antisemitism’ that took place in Jerusalem.
The event was organised in cooperation with the World Holocaust Forum Foundation and under the auspices of the President of the State of Israel.
Nearly 50 heads of States gathered including H.M. Philippe, King of the Belgians, French President, H.E. Mr. Emmanuel Macron, U.S. Vice-President, H.E. Mr. Michael Pence, HRH Prince Charles, German President, H.E. Mr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, royalties and other dignitaries.

After graduation, I took an internship at the Embassy of Belgium in Israel for three months. In Tel Aviv, I had the chance to see the inner mechanics of an Embassy and Consulate and got to experience the daily life of a diplomat.
I have been active in a youth organization (Hashomer Hatzaïr Belgium), counting about 250 children (all year round). In the last five (2013-2018) years I have been managing and coordinating the organization’s summer camps and educational weekends in Belgium and abroad.
