About Me

I'm a huge fan of the United Nations for as long as I remember. I studied many things related to multilateral diplomacy and that's sort of what I do for living. Besides my work duties for the University as Professor of International Law and International Journalism, I recently worked as a home-based Consultant for UNODC and as a Volunteer Management Specialist for UNFCCC. I worked many years as International News Analyst and I covered as a Temporary Correspondent, UN meetings in Geneva. I volunteered twice at the United Nations in NY and I'm part of the Academic Council on the United Nations. Travelling the world and learning new languages is something I really love to do. I enjoy very much meeting foreign people and understanding other cultures. Plus, I'm heavily addicted to chocolate (and chocolate cookies)!
