In my home country Belgium, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Translation and Interpreting (English/Russian) and a Master’s degree in Multilingual Communication, with a focus on international relations. My research interests include information warfare and its role in fueling conflicts, along with a strong interest in military strategies and security. I have researched topics such as the impact of Russian minorities on Baltic-Russian relations and propaganda-driven instability.
My research has taken me to Estonia, Latvia and Poland. I lived in Saint Petersburg, Russia, as an exchange student in 2021. I have also completed diplomatic internships in Australia and Luxembourg.
