Nezka carries great enthusiasm and intelligence within the diplomatic arena. She adds depth, dexterity, and nimble thinking. Her multilingual pedigree has already made her indispensable in the realm of international affairs. I've long been impressed with Nezka's ability to synthesize complex legalese and geopolitics into diplomatic coherence. Nezka is extremely well-versed in many geopolitical subjects, though she's also a fighter for many causes in pursuit of the truth. Nezka's exemplary work within the European Parliament as well as her current role in the European Jewish Association are testaments to the respect she's already earned from her peers and will serve as a wonderful prelude to the even greater work she will do in the near future.
