Director at Institut liberálních studií

Prague, Czechia🇨🇿

I am a professional with experience in European institutions, NGOs, and international project coordination. I have worked as an APA in the European Parliament, supporting research, drafting briefings, and coordinating stakeholders.

I also have hands-on experience in service desk support and operations, giving me a practical, solution-oriented approach to managing projects and teams.

I am fluent in English and German, with conversational skills in Spanish and Ukrainian, and I am comfortable collaborating across borders and time zones.

I am currently open to part-time or contract remote work supporting research, policy, or program coordination.
