About

I am a globally-minded political science graduate from the University of Amsterdam with a MSc in Public and Political Communication (110/110 cum laude) from the University of Florence. I am curious about contemporary social challenges and how they affect people and society, and I enjoy turning complex ideas into clear messages and campaigns.

Having lived in five countries and traveled solo in challenging contexts has made me resilient and highly adaptable. My professional background spans electoral campaigns, editorial work, and managing relations with institutional stakeholders, with hands-on experience in designing multi-channel communication strategies, producing multimedia content, and coordinating projects across diverse teams.
