Sophie worked on the Europe’s Stories research project led by historian Timothy Garton Ash at the University of Oxford, and has consulted for NATO, the EU, and leading think tanks. Previously, she designed, launched, and led the Young European Ambassadors network, a flagship initiative of the EU’s largest communication programme.

Sophie holds a PhD in Security and Global Affairs from Leiden University, a MPhil in Politics from the University of Oxford, and a BA in International Affairs from the Brussels School of Governance. She has been awarded scholarships from the RENPET and Europaeum Networks.
