👋 Meet our new colleague Anna Troëng! 🇸🇪 Originally from Sweden, she has joined the House of European History’s Communication and Partnerships team. Anna has studied the History of Art and also has a Master’s degree in communication management. Her studies brought her to Australia, and Spain, where she continued to live for many years. 🤝 In her previous role as advisor to the Director General for Communication of the European Parliament, she focused on equality, diversity and inclusion among other topics. Her previous professional career has also seen stints in sales and marketing! Anna grew up with a strong sense of justice and believes that privilege has to be used to lend your voice to those who are not heard. Learning about history and dialogue about a painful past can be a way to move towards a better joint future, in the EU and beyond. Her main motivation is to drive change for the better, whether this is efficiency-oriented, or focused on social inclusion or the environment. 🏅 In her spare time, Anna's hobbies and interests include sports, art and pottery. She is very excited to join the HEH team, where she will be championing sustainability - both environmental and social - and contributing to collective innovation projects. 👍 Welcome to the team Anna and best of luck in your new role! #Welcome #NewColleague #Communications #Museum #History #Team
