Summary

Graduated in Art History from the University of Leeds (United Kingdom), I have gained experience in various sectors, primarily in hospitality. Cheerful and friendly, I quickly adapt to new work environments and efficiently take on new tasks. Warm and outgoing, I excel in interpersonal communication. Besides Italian, I speak, write, and understand English, German, Spanish and Portuguese.

Mature, dynamic, detail-oriented, and skilled in multitasking, I work effectively under pressure both independently and as part of a team, demonstrating professionalism by proactively handling stressful situations with perseverance and awareness of my role.

Currently seeking a receptionist position where I can apply my strong customer service background and administrative skills to contribute to a welcoming and efficient front-office environment.
