Summary

Having grown up in a trilingual environment (Italian, German, and Romanian) and with the privilege of calling Italy, Austria, and Switzerland my home, I have developed the ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and to view the world from different cultural perspectives.

With over three years of experience in recruitment, I am deeply passionate about my field. It brings me great joy to hear the diverse stories of people and to make a positive impact on their lives through my work.
