I was born in Naples, 24/10/1991. I started my studies at the scientific high school and then changed my path at the university when I decided to study oriental languages and cultures, I took a degree in English and Chinese. After that I lived in China for a year where I was able to practice the language and learn more about Chinese culture. During my studies I had the opportunity to work in various sectors, from catering to tourism, I did an internship in the prefecture, I worked a lot with the family- company that deals with doors and windows and also exports to others countries of the products. I have always tried to fit into international contexts where it was important to develop communication skills. After my stay in China I started a master in "professional translation and communication" with Suor Orsola Benincasa university.
