Early life and career
[edit]Gary was born in Luxembourg City in 1988.[1] She is the granddaughter of Élisabeth Kox-Risch, who was a member of the Christian Social People's Party until she began to protest the proposed Remerschen and Cattenom nuclear power plants, and was a candidate for The Greens in the 1999 and 2004 elections.[3] Her grandmother's activism led her to become involved with politics.[4] She studied geography in Montpellier, and graduated from the University of Innsbruck with a Master of Science.[5] From 2016 to 2017, she worked for Fairtrade Lëtzebuerg, and from 2018 to 2019 she worked for the Verkéiersverbond.[4]
