During her studies as a bachelor in communications between 2009 and 2012 at the Institut supérieur de formation sociale et de communication (ISFSC), a Catholic High School, Maouane did internships in 2010 for the satirical newspaper Pan and in 2011 at the internal communication and press relations branches of the Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company.[3][4]
Maouane's first contacts with the political sphere began when she was a student, and after completing her studies she served as for the press service for Ecolo. From 2013 to 2018, Maouane served as an assistant to Sarah Turine, échevin of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, where she also served as political co-secretary of the party's local chapter.
Since 2016, Maouane has served as the co-president for the Brussels regional branch of Ecolo. Additionally, she was elected to the Communal Council of Molenbeek in December 2018 and to the Brussels-Capital Region Parliament in the 2019 Belgian regional elections. As a member of the Brussels Regional Parliament, Maouane also has a seat in the Parliament of the French Community of Belgium.[4]
For the 2019 Brussels regional elections, Maouane was designated fourth on the Ecolo party list. Maouane was elected to the fourth spot on the list with 4,297 votes.[5]
In August 2019, Maouane declared her candidacy as co-president of Ecolo on a ticket with Jean-Marc Nollet.[1] At the party's general assembly in Namur, Maouane and Nollet, without any other opponent, received 92% of votes.[6] Upon her election as co-president, she resigned her posts in the Brussels and French Community Parliaments. She was succeeded in both offices by Margaux De Ré.[7]
