Skills

Mh life path made me develope cross-functional skills; communication; empathy; adaptability; listening; tolerance; flexibility; organization; attention to detail. I’ve never felt as aligned with my purpose as I do now, and I’m eager to continue my journey of growth by dedicating my life to serving the planet.

Since I was a child, I’ve had the chance and luck to spend a lot of time by the sea. My parents taught me the importance of living
close to Nature. I turned my education into a deep love for the ocean and for outdoor activities. I surf, windsurf, but also love fishing, walking through the woods, and foraging. I believe that Nature is our God. It moves and amazes me: how is it possible that elements in the forest—bushes, trees, stones—seem perfectly placed, as if someone with exceptional taste arranged them? How can bees communicate by tracing shapes in the air, or a sea turtle return to its birthplace after years of life and countless miles? Nature is incredible, and I’m fascinated by it.
My life journey has shown me both Nature’s wonders and the destruction caused by human-driven economic progress. I’ve witnessed beaches covered in plastic, disruptions in the marine food chain generated by overfishing, intensifying storms. I feel deep sadness and anger about this. These visceral emotions fuel my
determination and strengthen my commitment to create change.
Now, I’m studying at the Communication an Marketing at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo. I’m an idealist who truly believes in the power of information and awareness. The more people feel love and respect for Nature, the more likely they’ll make responsible, conscious choises.
