I have an MA in 'Media, Information and Communications Policy" from the Public Policy Department of the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. Previously I worked as a journalist, human rights project manager, and media researcher and project coordinator in areas related to media pluralism, media policy and regulation, freedom of expression and access to information. I recently returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where I worked as a public information officer with the United Nations Volunteers Program, in the UN Mission in DRC (MONUSCO).
