I joined the British Embassy in 2004, and have ever since enjoyed one of the most diverse and challenging jobs as a professional communicator, from partnering up with MTV Romania to promote the UN anti-poverty agenda to handling Prince Charles’ press conference on a top hill in picturesque Transylvania. One of the highlights working for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has been the introduction of an internship scheme in the Embassy; we bring along students from various backgrounds to helps us deliver our objectives while they get a unique opportunity to learn hands-on about diplomacy.

I am a former TV journalist, specialising in foreign affairs, and a Fulbright scholar. I hold a Master of Arts in Information and Communication Studies with California State University at Chico.
I am a major cafe latte fan and like to collect hand-painted icons. My other hobbies include travelling and watching movies with friends, particularly Quentin Tarantino’s. The latest memorable film I watched was District 9, a superb science fiction with a social twist – anybody seen it?
