A California native, Brandy is a Brussels-based media and production specialist working at the intersection of EU policy, media, and global stakeholder engagement. She first moved to Brussels in 2016 as a Fulbright Program grantee.
As Head of Summits at POLITICO Europe, she led the development and delivery of a high-level, editorially driven event portfolio that helped shape key policy conversations in Brussels and across Europe. She oversaw the strategic design, stakeholder engagement, and execution of complex, newsmaker convenings involving senior policymakers, industry leaders, and civil society actors.
Her professional background spans the chemical sector, nonprofit peace education, hospitality, independent film, and language teaching—experiences that inform her adaptable, cross-sector approach to editorial production and high-level convening.
Alongside her policy and media work, Brandy is an emerging film producer working across European feature films and international co-productions.
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in German, specializing in literature and film studies, a Master’s degree in European Studies, and a postgraduate certificate in Economic Diplomacy from the Brussels Diplomatic Academy.
She speaks English, German and French, and is based in Brussels.
