Laura Fabiano

Project Manager - (Handi)Diag

Hello, I’m Laura. At IMS Luxembourg, I am in charge of the Disability project, notably Handi-Perception and HandiMentor Connect. The aim of our activities is to raise awareness among organisations in Luxembourg about the inclusion of people with disabilities in the workplace.
Through these projects, I have the opportunity to engage with a wide range of stakeholders and, with them, to foster enthusiasm, reflection, and understanding on the topic of disability in the workplace. IMS allows me to contribute to the cause of sustainable development by bringing in new ideas and working on concrete issues. Our association’s philosophy is based on collective intelligence and kind human relationships to create a sustainable environment.
Before joining IMS, I worked in a law firm, where rigour and excellence were key. I carried out a variety of multidisciplinary tasks, which allowed me to gain experience in communication, event management, and business development project support. With a master’s degree in Applied Foreign Languages, a multidisciplinary programme, I was encouraged to keep an open mind towards topics such as communication, international relations, and interculturality.

Carla Jellema

Project Manager - Pacte Climat

My name is Carla Jellema, and I’m living for 8 years in Luxembourg, the only Grand-Duchy in the world. Originally, I’m from the Netherlands. After completing my bachelor’s in business administration with a focus on Tourism Management, I switched to working in the financial sector. 

After 11 years, it was time to change. The change started already earlier, when I decided to follow the certificate in Sustainable Development and Social Innovation at the University of Luxembourg. I wanted to change to sustainability, to make a positive impact in the world. The change was completed by getting a job at the Ville de Differdange as a project manager to transform the food system to a more sustainable one. 

Currently, I’m working as a project manager with Célia on the Klima Pact.

Ana Catarina Mendes Pinto

Nice to meet you, I'm Catarina. After an internship at IMS, why not encourage young people to do internships in Luxembourg and develop their own network?

My previous experience in communications has aroused my curiosity and fueled my ambition to develop my skills further, particularly in the audiovisual field.
