She served as Malta's Legal and Judicial Cooperation Attaché within the Permanent Representation of Malta to the European Union.[2] and, from 2012 to 2013, as legal advisor to the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton. Political careerEarly beginnings{{ref improve section|date=February 2017}}In her student years, Metsola formed part of SDM (Studenti Demokristjani Maltin), KNZ (The National Youth Council) and MZPN (Moviment Zgħazagħ Partit Nazzjonalista), before being elected as Secretary General of the European Democrat Students (EDS - the student branch of the EPP), as well as to posts within the European Youth Forum (YJF). In 2002, she was elected vice-president of the Youth Convention on the Future of Europe which paved the way to her being closely involved in the negotiation and drafting of the European Constitutional Treaty and, later, the Lisbon Treaty. Metsola has been constantly active within the Partit Nazzjonalista in Malta, serving within the party's international secretariat; actively campaigning for a 'YES' vote in the 2003 EU membership referendum; and volunteering with the PN's election arm ELCOM. She ran for the European Parliament elections in 2004 and the 2009 European Parliament as a Nationalist candidate in Malta. She was not elected in either of these elections.
