Previous roles included working as press and media advisor to Bérangère Couillard, French Minister for Gender Equality and the Fight against Discrimination; as senior manager for media relations at Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance; on two US presidential election campaigns; as a communications consultant in London, Brussels and Paris; and as an in-house communicator both at the French National Institute for Agricultural Research and at EY (formerly Ernst & Young).Born in the US to an American mother and an Irish father, I am a naturalized French citizen. After schooling in the UK, Ireland and Belgium, I did both my undergraduate and graduate studies at Sciences Po Paris (the Paris Institute of Political Studies), obtaining a degree in Central and Eastern European Studies and a master's in Finance. I also spent a year abroad studying at the Faculty of Social Sciences at Charles University in Prague.I split my time between work in Paris, France, and family in Geneva, Switzerland, and would be happy to grab coffee with like-minded individuals in either city.
