About me
I am a Communication Specialist with a first-class BA Honours degree in International Relations and Environmental Science from The Open University. Over the past five years, I have gained diverse experience across consulting, translation, and digital marketing roles in Italy, the Netherlands, and the UK. My work focuses on crafting clear and empathetic communication that connects diverse audiences and elevates brand voices in global contexts.
My academic background has equipped me with strong analytical and research skills, particularly in evaluating CSR and ESG initiatives, global climate agreements, and sustainability trade-offs. I have conducted multi-variable research projects involving international case studies, which have deepened my understanding of environmental policy and international relations.
Professionally, I have worked as a Film Captions Translator for the Goethe-Institut, providing accurate German-Italian translations and subtitles for films showcased at national festivals. I also served as a Bilingual Recruitment Consultant at Languagematters Ltd, where I sourced and screened multilingual candidates, achieving high client satisfaction.
Additionally, I completed an internship as a Digital Marketing Specialist at Citylife UK, managing social media campaigns and producing digital content that increased engagement significantly. My leadership skills were honed through coordinating a student start-up simulation project and participating as a UN Junior Delegate in Model United Nations activities.
I am fluent in Italian and English, with advanced proficiency in German, and possess strong IT skills including Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Wordpress, and data visualization tools. I am passionate about communication, teamwork, and continuous learning, and I enjoy blogging, video content creation, and martial arts in my free time.
