About the Host
I’m a professional Italian teacher with a strong background in linguistics and foreign languages. I was born and raised in Italy, until 2021, when I moved to The Netherlands. But my journey around the world started long before that: since 2015, I’ve been travelling for study and work.
I attended a language-focused high school, then earned a Bachelor's degree in Cultural and Linguistic Mediation at Roma Tre University, focusing on Russian and Spanish. Later, I completed a Research Master's in Linguistics at Utrecht University, where I explored topics such as second language acquisition and psycholinguistics. Since July 2025, I also obtained the CEDILS, formal certification in teaching Italian as a second language.
