What I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated and detail-oriented individual with a strong background in cultural diplomacy and international relations. With a Master's degree in Public and Cultural Diplomacy from the University of Siena, Italy, I have developed a deep understanding of cultural diplomacy initiatives, particularly in the Black Sea region. My experience as an Executive Board Member of Ski and Digital Skills Community has honed my skills in cross-cultural communication and project management.
Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have demonstrated proficiency in multiple languages, including English, French, and Italian. My experience as a Volunteer Instructor at Microsoft Office and Google Sheets has equipped me with the skills to facilitate effective communication and collaboration. I am confident in my ability to work in fast-paced environments and optimize contributions to achieve desired outcomes.
