Presenter & Host

I host Euronews NBC's flagship daily primetime show, Raw Politics, launched in September 2018, broadcasting from inside the European Parliament in Brussels & Strasbourg.
Every single day, we dissect and analyse the biggest political stories, talk to stakeholders at the heart of those stories and get them on the show, ask them the most important and sometimes difficult questions, give viewers the means to engage directly with politicians and journalists, and put our unique Raw Politics brand of reporting on European politics.
(See video above.)

Bursting the Brussels Bubble

Months after launching the flagship morning show Good Morning Europe, Euronews' very first live anchored programme, and soon after Raw Politics went to air, Politico Europe featured the Women of Euronews in their 2018 list of Women Shaping Brussels.
In a city that's home to the EU's massive bureaucratic machinery, the political classes and all those who work in related fields inhabit the so-called 'Brussels Bubble.'
Raw Politics aims to burst that bubble for the 500 million Europeans whose lives are impacted by decisions made in Brussels, and to bring in-depth and nuanced analysis of EU affairs to our global audience.

Political Journalist

We talk politics on the RP sofas like you would in your own living room -- honest, informal, relevant and passionate debates on issues that impact citizens' lives, influence general trends in political narratives and rhetoric, and drive society's collective political leanings.
As journalists, I think it's our duty to really listen to different points of views, different voices. At the very least, it could encourage healthy, productive debates by fostering understanding
of mindsets one may not agree with, and bridging the growing divide fuelled by polarising issues and politicians. Simply put, it's just better when people talk.
Don't you think?
