About me

I’m a veterinary researcher and Project Development & Partnerships Lead, working at the intersection of dairy production, digital innovation and environmental sustainability. My background is in precision livestock farming, digital transformation of small and medium dairy farms, and bio-based health solutions such as phytotherapeutics and nanomaterials. I’ve been actively involved in EU‑funded projects (Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, national sectoral plans), with a strong focus on rural innovation, living labs, and training and knowledge transfer.

In CBE JU projects, I can contribute as a partner for designing and implementing on‑farm pilots and living labs in Eastern European rural contexts, and as a Work Package or Task Leader for training, capacity‑building and stakeholder engagement. I also bring solid expertise in animal health, welfare and productivity within sustainable, circular value chains.
