Summary
Graduated in Language Mediation Sciences at the SSML of Basilicata. I attended Chemistry courses at La Sapienza University in Rome for a period.
I speak English and Spanish fluently and have a basic understanding of Arabic.
Having gained experience in the hospitality and public service sectors, I know I’m well-suited to engaging with people and have a natural ability for teamwork and collaboration. I consider myself detail-oriented, patient, and outgoing. I’m adaptable to change and open to organisational, cultural, and technological flexibility.
If there’s a problem, there’s always a solution.
