I attained my PhD in Philosophy from the University of Padua in 2017 and have gained broad international experience in education and technology.
After completing my B.A. and M.A. in Turin, I worked in Malta through the Leonardo project and later spent about five years working at the University of Miami (USA), first during my PhD and later as a lecturer, teaching Ethics and Bioethics. Later, I spent about 2 years in Rio de Janeiro, working on various philosophy projects. I have held various roles in my career, including tutor, lecturer, philosophy researcher, and remote project manager for a mobility initiative at the Politecnico di Milano (Department of Management Engineering).

I have a long-term experience in the field of education. I have been teaching since 2011, to students of very different ages and levels, as well as of different languages and cultures. This gave me the chance to shape, improve, and master a teaching method that adapts to my audience's needs. I believe I am a very approachable and fair instructor who tries her best to convey content in the most effective and valuable way. I am also flexible and versatile, as testified by my resume. My teaching method focuses on creating an inclusive and respectful environment based on empathy and on conveying the contents by means of discussion and the aid of various media – a method that has proved effective in facilitating students to internalize the contents so as to foster their success. Furthermore, teaching is a real passion and something fulfilling and rewarding, which secures my consideration and commitment to students.

My diverse background, spanning multiple countries and roles, has equipped me with adaptable communication and teaching skills.
