I was born in Modena from an Italian mother and Brazilian father who taught me how to speak Portuguese. I have always been very keen to confront myself in an international environment. In my university years, I moved to Rome from my hometown, mainly because I wanted to study in a broader environment. During my bachelor, I also spent 5 weeks in the Netherlands, where I had the opportunity to expose myself to the work environment in a country totally different from the one I was used to, while sharpening both my hard and soft skills.

What was impactful the most in my bachelor experience, is the exchange semester I’ve just completed in south Korea, where I got the chance to see another part of the world and finally have a raw taste of life in the Asian continent. This experience made me understand mainly that Asia is much closer to the western part of the world than people normally expect.

Today I am a student of MIF at ESSEC BS, here I am learning day by day financial skills and interpersonal ones. I think the MIF is a quite demanding program, but in my opinion it's the best one to prepare you for the finance industry of tomorrow. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need clarifications about the program I'm enrolled in!
