My Story
Born in Rome, Italy to an Italian mother and a Californian father, I have been used to mixing cultures, languages and habits, since I was a child. This has not always felt like a gift, especially in my younger years, when I wanted to be exactly like everyone else and fit in.

At 12 years old, our family moved across the world to, Brazil, adding one more culture to the mix. Not speaking the language and definitely not yet being aware of the cultural nuances, this was a complex time to say the least.
Once I started school everything changed again, I was amongst other internationals, people who were in a similar situation as mine, people I could relate to, people that understood what it meant to belong to different worlds that did not clash.
From that moment on, I started to understand how being “different” can be a gift, a very precious one.
I was lucky to find myself in an environment that praised diversity, in a country that made us, foreigners, also feel in part Brazilian, regardless of our origin.
This is when I realized how much value and beauty there is to people who are different from what you are used to, who have experienced different upbringings, different stories, different beliefs, different values, traditions, and so on.
Getting to know as many cultures as possible, subconsciously, became my pursuit. During my university years I got involved in Youth in Action programs which, from a young age, allowed me to learn and implement useful soft skills, leadership, communication, observation and so much more, while traveling around Europe, living here and there for a few months at a time and loving every second of it.
Professionally, I looked for opportunities that would allow me to interact with different countries and cultures; this led me to Global Mobility, assisting people in their relocation process to a new destination. I felt like I was helping them bridge the gap, moving from their place of origin to their new destination.
I loved being able to show them the opportunities they could find in their new life by paying close attention to everyone’s specific situation, family composition, ideal lifestyle, and what they cherished most.
I noticed that the difference between who thrived in the new location and who dreaded it, was quite simple: those who succeeded were able to apply a few essential tools, an intentional mindset, and a willingness to adapt.
Some of these tools and attitudes are the same ones needed to succeed in almost anything we attempt in life, and these do not vary much per country or culture.
My next professional endeavor was truly an international one, the company provided services in 185 countries. I then had the opportunity and pleasure to help create and directly manage a team with people from 11 different countries while interacting with various departments and clients worldwide.
The part of my job I enjoyed the most was to support people on their professional development journey and watching them achieve goals they were doubtful of reaching.
Observing a situation from the outside makes it easier to see and identify the steps needed to overcome or transform it. Breaking down big goals into smaller, achievable steps is the key to success.
When the world shut down due to Covid, we were all faced with a set of unfamiliar challenges. At that moment, I realized that I could do more to support my colleagues and friends. I became a certified Mental Health First Aider and created a group called ‘Here to Help’ where all employees could join calls and discuss what they were struggling with. It didn’t take them long to realize that the others faced the same difficulties.
This safe space allowed to share concrete actions and solutions to multiple issues, improving not only personal life, but also company morale and efficiency. Employees from different departments started to interact more frequently, creating bonds, checking up on each other and supporting one another which translated into more communication and new ideas to improve the business.
I was then selected to create a training I delivered in a number of countries. I decided to summarize everything I had learned about overcoming management struggles, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, time management, prioritization, efficiency, relationship building, team building, coaching, leadership skills, building motivation, and improving overall mental health, to name but a few topics.
All of these topics fall into three categories: Relationships, Communication, and Balance. These categories cover most of both our personal and professional life.
Having witnessed the substantial achievements of my teams, my colleagues, and the people close to me, makes me an unwavering believer that we can achieve anything if we turn our attention to it. And of course I am here to help.
