Business Profile

I joined TradeMalta as a Trade Promotion Senior Executive in July 2025, where I support the internationalisation of Malta-based businesses. My role involves the planning, coordination, and execution of trade promotion activities and events aimed at enhancing the visibility and international market presence of our clients.

This position calls for excellent communication and administrative skills, a deep understanding of global trade dynamics, and a strong commitment to the internationalisation of Malta-based enterprises. With an energetic and driven character, I bring a hands-on, solutions-oriented approach to my work, focused on helping businesses unlock global opportunities and achieve sustainable growth.

In parallel with my professional role, I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Economics, that further strengthens my analytical capabilities and strategic insight. My academic journey complements my work at TradeMalta, enabling me to align theoretical knowledge with practical execution in the field of international trade promotion.

I am passionate about contributing to TradeMalta’s mission and leveraging my skills to empower Malta-based businesses to expand internationally.
