Prior to joining GMF’s Washington office, Arts worked as research assistant at the Atlantic Council in Washington, DC, where she produced President and CEO Fred Kempe’s Inflection Points, and as a trainee in GMF’s Brussels Office, where she assisted with the organization of GMF’s flagship conference Brussels Forum.  She has a background in political journalism, writing for Spiegel Online International, and producing news briefs for the European Commission as part of her work for the media-monitoring agency Kantar Media.
