About

I am an EU research and funding specialist with extensive experience in Horizon Europe, research management, proposal evaluation, monitoring, reporting, and research synthesis.

​

I work with research teams, EU-funded projects, universities, and research centres to turn complex information into clear, well-structured, evaluator-oriented documents.

​

My work focuses on proposal quality review, desk research, literature and policy reviews, impact and dissemination narratives, policy briefs, research reports, monitoring and reporting inputs, and strategic feedback for EU-funded projects.

​

I am especially interested in Horizon Europe / FP10 readiness and in the ways universities, research teams, and support offices can prepare earlier and more strategically for European research and innovation opportunities.

​

Recent professional development includes a verified course in Introduction to Research Management and Administration, offered by King’s College London through edX.

Professional Background

I have worked across the EU research and innovation ecosystem as a researcher, editor, evaluator, monitor, rapporteur, research manager, and programme/policy expert.

​

This combination of roles gives me a strong understanding of how research projects are designed, assessed, implemented, communicated, monitored, and translated into convincing written outputs.

​

My experience allows me to look at proposals, reports, briefs, and research documents from multiple perspectives: the research team, the evaluator, the project officer, the institutional support structure, and the intended audience.
