What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a role that values creativity and communication, with opportunities for growth.

born in Italy i graduated in NY where i spent 12 years, proceeded to travel back to Europe and then trotted in Asia while cooking and teaching for business. With a big passion and propensity for communication and languages, I was lucky to be able to open myself to other cultures views, thinking and customs, which has broadened my personal and professional horizons, making it easier for me to genuinely connect to others and curiously surpass my own limits of perception.

I am Italian/English bilingual therefore i can easily and fluently communicate and bridge the gaps in any work position where that skill would be useful.

Thank you for your attention
