What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

I’m a people-focused Senior Account Manager and certified Gestalt Counsellor with over 7 years of international experience across EdTech, event management, and client relations.

After living and working for many years in Canada—where I coordinated high-end events and worked closely with C-level stakeholders in multicultural environments—I relocated to Milan and entered the EdTech and startup world. My background has shaped me into a strong communicator and relationship builder, with a deep understanding of how to support both people and business goals.

Education, emotional growth, and human potential are at the core of my values. That’s why I completed a three-year postgraduate program in Gestalt Counseling and now offer private sessions, while also exploring ways to integrate this approach in corporate settings.

Today, I’m looking for remote roles in HR, People & Culture, Learning & Development, or corporate wellbeing—where I can blend my sales expertise, counseling skills, and international mindset to help individuals and organizations thrive.
