Benjamin in a few words
Communication has always been at the heart of what I do. Since my first position as the head of a youth magazine in 2011, I have been lucky to be a part of so many talented pan-national and multi-disciplinary teams during my time working across Europe.
From improving my communication skills working in Spain, to producing videos with the European Commission, I am always looking to connect with people. Currently, that means engaging them with exciting copywriting - a job I greatly enjoy.
In my spare time, I like cooking; a hobby I combined with my work skills by publishing a community cookbook and producing a historical cooking series.
