👋 Niltaqgħu ma’ Nicole
Nicole hija Konsulenta Legali u Uffiċjal għall-Protezzjoni tad-Data fl-Awtorità ta' Malta dwar il-Komunikazzjoni (MCA), fejn tipprovdi pariri legali fuq firxa ta’ kwistjonijiet regolatorji, tagħti sapport f'attivitajiet ta’ konformità u infurzar, u tgħin biex tiżgura l-osservanza tar-rekwiżiti tal-protezzjoni tad-data.
Wara li studjat il-Liġi fl-Università ta’ Malta u kisbet il-warrant biex tipprattika bħala avukat, Nicole żviluppat interess kbir fil-qasam regolatorju. Dan wassalha biex tingħaqad mal-MCA, fejn taħdem fuq affarijiet relatati mal-leġiżlazzjoni, il-konformità u l-governanza.
💬 “Meta nitkellem fuq xogħli, ħafna nies ikunu sorpriżi b’kemm huwa varjat. M’hemmx ġurnata bħall-oħra. Illum jaf inkun qed nanalizza leġiżlazzjoni ġdida tal-UE, filwaqt li għada nkun qed nagħti pariri dwar kwistjonijiet regolatorji, kuntratti, xiri pubbliku, jew il-protezzjoni tad-data. Din il-varjetà hija waħda mill-iktar aspetti li togħġobni f'xogħli.”
💬 “Memorja li nibqa' ngħożż matul iż-żmien tiegħi fl-MCA kienet l-opportunità li naħdem fuq żviluppi leġiżlattivi importanti tal-UE, inklużi inizjattivi immirati lejn il-kreazzjoni ta’ ambjent diġitali aktar sikur għall-utenti, b’mod partikolari għall-minuri online. Il-kollaborazzjoni ma’ kollegi minn dixxiplini differenti tagħtini l-opportunità li nibqa’ nitgħallem u niżviluppa b’mod kontinwu, filwaqt li nikkontribwixxi għal diversi proġetti.”
Nicole ssib sodisfazzjon fil-firxa wiesgħa ta' xogħolha u fil-kontribut tagħha għal-leġiżlazzjoni li tfassal ambjent diġitali aktar sikur u ġust. Id-dedikazzjoni tagħha tkompli ssostni l-missjoni tal-MCA kuljum.
👋 Meet Nicole
Nicole is a Legal Adviser and Data Protection Officer at the Malta Communications Authority (MCA), where she provides legal advice on a range of regulatory matters, supports compliance and enforcement activities, and helps ensure adherence to data protection requirements.
After studying Law at the University of Malta and obtaining her warrant to practise as a lawyer, Nicole developed a strong interest in regulatory work. This led her to the MCA, where she works on matters involving legislation, compliance and governance.
💬 “When I speak about my work, many people are surprised by how diverse it is. No two days are the same. One day I might be analysing new EU legislation, while the next I’m advising on regulatory matters, contracts, procurement, or data protection issues. The variety is one of the aspects I enjoy most about my work at the MCA.”
💬 “One of the most rewarding aspects of my time at the MCA has been the opportunity to work on significant EU legislative developments, including initiatives aimed at creating a safer digital environment for users, particularly minors online. Collaborating with colleagues across different disciplines has allowed me to continuously learn and develop, while contributing to various projects.”
Nicole finds fulfilment in the breadth of her work and in contributing to legislation that shapes a safer and fairer digital environment. Her dedication continues to support the MCA's mission every day.
