She also helped with the communication of two other priority areas of the DG: the launch of the .eu domain and the IST Event 2006.

Previously, she worked for the Permanent Representation of the Slovak Republic in Brussels, Berlin-based Eurocast and the Association of European Radios. She has journalistic background from the Czech Information Agency in Prague and she collaborated shortly with the Project Finance Forum for Africa.
