I am the senior migration advisor at Cordaid. I have been working on food security and migration policy, advocacy and programming in fragile contexts. Prior to Cordaid, I worked in Brussels at the EP and EC, before moving into the faith-based NGO sector with the Catholic NGO network CIDSE. I worked on trade and food security, children’s rights, policy coherence, global health and ODA policies.

I have over 25 years of experience in advocacy in Africa, the Netherlands and EU, and at global level. I enjoy developing and implementing advocacy strategies together with southern partners, mobilizing public, political and donor support for those most in need.
