A creative nerd
Embarking on a lifelong quest for knowledge, my educational journey has been fueled by an unwavering passion for technology, coding, and the art of communication.
I charted my academic course to culminate in a degree in Linguistics, where I delved into the captivating realm of Computer Mediated Communication (CMC). Subsequently,
I graduated from the Apple Academy, completing the standard course, the Pier Program, and the Pier + Program.
Meticulous and observant by nature, I identify as a perpetual learner, consistently embracing new knowledge and experiences.
Presently, I contribute my expertise at the creative design and tech consultancy imaginary institute,
by serving as a Jr Mentor Foundation at the Apple Developer Academy, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Italy.
My journey is a testament to my unwavering commitment to personal and professional growth, coupled with a genuine
passion for fostering a diverse and inclusive community.

Learning by doing
From my early years, I immersed myself in acquiring knowledge of emerging technologies, thriving in a tech-centric atmosphere. I take pleasure in consistently devising solutions for user challenges and fostering empathy by understanding their perspectives. My developmental approach encompasses research, analysis, user interface design, and coding.
I derive joy from perceiving the world through fresh perspectives, uncovering hidden patterns, and transforming novel, imaginative ideas into tangible realities. My interests encompass everything related to videography and photography. For my digital content creation, I utilize tools such as Final Cut Pro X, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop, Sketch, and GarageBand.
Achieved certification in teaching Italian as a second language (L2) at Centro Linguistico Ateneo - Università Federico II - after completing a demanding training course. During this program, I was exposed to a multitude of ideologies centered around instructing non-native speakers, incorporating diverse tools, strategies, and methodologies.
