I joined the Council of the European Union in 2015 after passing an AST competition in finance. The funny part is that I graduated as a translator, but my professional career led me through a completely unexpected path! And this is what I love about my job: I got here because of my skills and competencies, just like my colleagues from all Europe that come from different backgrounds but who share the same professionalism and dedication. My tasks here at the Council allow me to play an active role in the organisation of meetings and summits that shape the future of the European Union, and I strongly encourage anyone to apply for a job in the institutions!
