What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a teaching role where I can create inclusive, engaging bilingual learning experiences and support children’s academic, social, and emotional development.

I'm currently supporting PYP learning at ICS Milan International School, helping students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally in a safe, inclusive classroom.

At TASIS – The American School in Switzerland, I've taught Italian as a second language to children aged 4–11 through songs, storytelling, games, and hands-on activities. I also supported Early Childhood Center classes, co-taught with master teachers, and worked with students individually and in small groups.

As an early childhood teacher at 123 Stella Bilingual PreSchool, I designed English-language themed projects that developed creativity, fine motor skills, curiosity, independence, and collaboration for children aged 3–5.

My background in languages, bilingualism, and metacognitive teaching also includes educational activities, translation and subtitling, content writing, and social media work. I speak Italian natively and am fluent in English and Spanish.
