What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining frontend/web design and digital marketing where I can grow technically, lead content strategy, work collaboratively, and drive measurable engagement and brand visibility.

I am a software engineering graduate with hands-on experience in frontend development, web design, and digital marketing. I have completed internships focused on HTML, CSS, Wix design and manual regression testing, and I currently lead marketing and PR initiatives for an international internship programme.

I create audience-oriented content and manage social channels end-to-end, using tools like the Adobe suite, Canva, Figma and Microsoft Office to deliver visually appealing and effective campaigns—especially for real estate clients. I have also worked remotely with software teams to ensure product quality through regression testing.

I bring strong communication, organization and problem-solving skills, fluency in English and Italian, and a proactive, collaborative approach to growing visibility, engagement and applicant quality for organisations.
