What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and innovation, with opportunities for professional growth and collaboration in a dynamic environment.

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in translation, project management, and creative writing. Over the years, I have collaborated with national and international agencies, contributing to major European projects such as Interreg Italy - Slovenia and Horizon 2020. My academic background includes a Master’s degree in Communication and Methodologies for EU policies from Università degli Studi di Trieste, which has equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in diverse communication roles.

As the AI Team Lead at Scale AI, I oversaw a team of 40 individuals, ensuring high-quality outputs for Italian and Slovenian language models. My role involved managing day-to-day operations, conducting audits, and providing hands-on assistance to my team. This experience honed my leadership skills and reinforced my commitment to delivering excellence in every project I undertake.

In addition to my technical skills, I am fluent in multiple languages, including Italian, Slovenian, and English, which allows me to effectively communicate with a diverse audience. I am passionate about continuous growth and development, always seeking opportunities to expand my skill set and contribute meaningfully to my field.
