Bio
After a Master's Degree in Philosophy of Language, I started teaching Italian as a Foreign&Second Language: 2010 in Vicenza, Italy - 2011/2012 in Wangaratta, Australia - 2013 in Ningbo, China. Since September 2014, I live and work in St Paul, MN, as a Fulbright Italian Language Teaching Assistant. I'm currently seeking for new challenges in the communication and language field.
I'm passionate about
...travelling, teaching and working as interpreter...worldwide! I cannot live without a bicycle and without a couple of books on the nightstand. My superhero? Ludwig Wittgenstein!
