About

MA student in Diplomacy and Global Governance at the Brussels School of Governance (BSoG) and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). Graduated from ESCP Europe Business School, while pursuing an L.L.M. at Unitelma Sapienza, with a specialization in Organizations and International Relations. Offering experience within intercultural environments in Diplomacy, International Relations, Sustainability, Consultancy, Sports, and Business Development. I started my International journey in 2015 by becoming an Exchange student and living in U.S. with a Mormon family for a year. My university path was consistent with my will of exploring the world: the bachelor at ESCP Europe allowed me to live in 3 different countries (UK, Germany, France). The extracurricular experiences I undertook were also following my international spirit and pushed me to volunteer in Turkey during the summer of 2019 and moved to Monaco (MCO) in 2020 to work as the Air Quality and Sustainability Consultant of World Athletics. As I enjoy dynamic environments, I have always tried to develop transversal skills within different sectors. Therefore, I have been part of ESCP Entrepreneurship Society and became the ESCP ambassador during my first year, I worked as a Consultant for Well Com, as a Sustainable Business Developer at ENACTUS and I took part in the CWMUN project on diplomacy both as a delegate and chairman during my studies of the second year. In my third year at ESCP, I simultaneously started a bachelor's in Law at Unitelma, which I continued while working at World Athletics (WA). After having received the Diploma in European Affairs at ISPI and the Certificate in Sustainable Business Strategy at Harvard Business School Online, I started a Master program in Brussels, where I am currently writing my Research Thesis on the role of City Diplomacy in mitigating environmental issues across EU, in particular air pollution. I have also studied different languages (French-Intermediate, Spanish-Intermediate, German-Beginner, English-Advanced, Italian-Native) and became acquainted with Microsoft Office full package. I am passionate about Sustainability, International Affairs, and Diplomacy and I am building my professional and academic career at the intersection of these four areas.
