Summary
As an agricultural economist with over 12 years of experience across Europe, Africa, and Latin America, I bring a deep commitment to participatory governance, sustainable food systems, and inclusive local development. My work with FAO, CIRAD, and international networks has focused on co-creating strategies with cities and communities, especially in the areas of circular economy, food policy, and youth and gender inclusion.
I’ve facilitated transnational learning, led capacity-building activities, and designed integrated solutions with diverse stakeholders. I am fluent in English, French, Spanish, and Serbo-Croatian and skilled in digital facilitation tools.
I am motivated to contribute to URBACT as an Expert by supporting cities in adapting proven practices, engaging communities meaningfully, and scaling innovation toward just and green urban transitions.
