In 2019, I graduated at as a Master of Arts in Interpreting (Dutch-Eng-Spanish), after which I continued a Master of Science in Conflict & Development Studies. These two masters gave me the tools to prepare a research application on migration in the context of transit in Mexico. After working with the NGO Oxfam Belgium at the education and campaigns department, I was able to start a PhD in 2023 with the Spanish section of the department of Translation, Interpreting & Communication at Ghent University, where I graduated in 2019. My interests lie at the intersections of language, (digital) communication, solidarity and migration.
