Bio
When I was younger, I believed careers were straight lines. You chose one path, you followed it, and eventually, you arrived at a fixed destination. But life, as I’ve learned, doesn’t really work that way. My professional journey has been anything but linear — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I started in sales. It was fast-paced, competitive, and full of challenges. I learned how to listen, really listen, to people. I learned that success often depends on the small details — the tone of your voice, the confidence in your words, the empathy in your eyes.
At the same time, I was working as a translator and interpreter. I was navigating between two languages, two cultures, and often two different worlds. Translation taught me precision. Interpreting taught me to think fast and to make decisions in the moment. These two jobs, so different from each other, had one thing in common: the art of communication.
But deep down, I knew I wanted something more — something that could combine my love for languages with my passion for helping people grow. That’s when I stepped into education. I earned my Master’s in Teacher Training for Secondary Education, specializing in English, and I found myself in a classroom, surrounded by students with unique dreams, struggles, and stories.
Teaching showed me the incredible power of connection. It’s not just about grammar or vocabulary — it’s about giving students the tools to open new doors in their lives. Every lesson is an opportunity to spark curiosity, to build confidence, to say: “Yes, you can.”
And because learning never stops, I am now pursuing a Master’s in Psychopedagogy. This is helping me understand not only how people learn, but also how to support those who face barriers. Inclusion isn’t an option — it’s a responsibility.
Not only the professional side has marked my personality but also my personal life. I have a 3 years old boy who has changed my point of view in many aspects of my life and has gived to me a new aim as person. Firts months of my baby weren't easy, not because the obvious of becomming mother but also because my own unbelievable circumstancies. I was detected by cancer (No Hodgkin Linphome) one month after my child was born and I had to be separeted from him almost 3 weeks every month until I recovered my health six months later. But nightmare didn't finish yet: my child's father left me one 3 months after I finished cancer treatment and in that moment he started a legal battle for my child custody. It was a terrible year but it made me extremely strong and rescilient and that taugth me to know how to obtained good things from bad moments.
I'm passionate about
I can say I'm passionate about not only communication in every aspects but also knowledge adquisition. I remember as a child, of about 4 years old, I took my father's books and I tried to read them although I didn't know yet how to read. Once I learned it, my next need was understand other people when they speak in a different language of mine. All that need of knowledge carried me to become in who I am nowdays.
An idea worth spreading
If my life has taught me one thing, it’s this: You don’t have to choose just one identity. You can be a salesperson, a translator, a teacher, a lifelong learner — all at once. Every experience adds a layer to who you are.
Things you might not know
Reading people's mind. I am very observative and sympathic so I can get feelings of people who are speaking to me quickly.
