What I'm looking for

Born and raised in Italy, I completed a Ph.D. in Political Science at UCLA. In the meantime, I developed a passion for digital marketing and tried to make a business out of it. The business didn't work out, but I realized that academia was not for me, so I went into SEO - best decision of my life.
