In my current role as senior secretary and accountant for a cultural consortium of city councils in Italy, I handle secretarial and accounting work. I’m looking for a position that makes better use of my English and customer-oriented approach.

At an international university and scientific research center in Italy, I worked for 15 years as a secretary and first contact for international professors, researchers, post-doc fellows, and short-term visitors, mostly in English. I assisted visitors with local payments and reimbursements, and with applications and arrangements related to permits, insurance, accommodation, and other practical needs.

I also supported scientific workshops and meetings and worked in the Director’s secretariat. Earlier, I worked as a bank clerk in front and back office, marketing, and customer care, and as a receptionist at a camping site.

I’ve also worked as a home-based tutor and written articles and reports for newspapers. I hold a degree in Communication Science from the University of Trieste, and I’m comfortable using Microsoft Word and Excel, email software, and online research.
