Born in 1984, Slovak

Works in IYNF since March 2013

Graduated in International Relations at the University of Economics in Bratislava, Slovakia.

After my University studies I embarked on quite an adventure and decided to spend one year volunteering in Brazil. I did a development internship in a youth environmental NGO devoted to support and development of riverside communities in the Amazon Rainforest. I consider this year in a way decisive for my future as apart from finding a Brazilian piece of myself, it has shown me what I am truly passionate about and inspired me to continue working in the field of nature protection & environmental issues and especially with young people. After returning to Europe and before joining the IYNF team, I worked for 2.5 years as the Secretary General of Youth and Environment Europe, another network of young environmentalists seated in Prague. For 3 years I was the Finance and Project Coordinator of IYNF.

Things I love: traveling, being in the nature, hiking, jogging & yoga , dancing forró (Northeastern Brazilian dance), Brazilian music & culture, photography, drinking green tea & yerba mate.

One of my favorite quotes: “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” (Albert Einstein)

At IYNF I am responsible for management and steering, HR management, organizational development, policies and regulations, fundraising, members and partners affairs, external representation and cooperation.
