SUMMARY
I am a passionate young engineer with a deep love for urban planning and great interest in sustainability solutions,
business strategy, and innovations.
I like to get in touch with people in order to be inspired and get better and better. I possess a strong background based
on a thorough knowledge which I have built through my international academic experience thank to which I achieved
a deep awareness of spatial complexity across the world linked both to the social innovation and to the economic
situation. I am attending a PhD International program in the field Of Urban Regeneration and economic
development.
The International prizes gained, taught me how to analyse the competitions according to my team’s ability, and this
activities together with some work experiences make me a flexible person able to talk to all types of clients and to face
the unexpected in a short time.
I am entrepreneurial in spirit, always seeking new inspirations challenges. Hence I was involved in many start-up
and clean-tech events, winning different competitions such as and Start cup Calabria and Start Intep. Thanks to these
experiences I boosted my communication skills becoming able to present complex issues to very diverse audiences,
with a good sense of humour on demand.
