She’s worked with ARTE on projects such as Generation Africa and Generation Ukraine, on festival strategy for these collections of films. Together with colleagues, she founded Documentary Association of Europe (DAE): a members’ network and support system for documentary filmmakers inside and outside of Europe that has grown to seven hundred members in just three years.

DAE is a members' network for documentary professionals from inside and outside of Europe. It was founded in 2020 by folks concerned that a new advocacy and lobby group was needed to fight for the best conditions for documentary filmmakers, and now has more than seven hundred members. Advocacy is at the heart of what we do, but the network is so much more than that.
