About 

I recently graduated from Politecnico of Milano University with a M.S.c Degree in Architecture Science. This degree focused primarily on technological design, environmental design and energetic issues. Presently, I am collaborate as an architect for an architectural firm in Cesano Maderno (Italy).

In addition to it, I've just finished a Post Graduate program called "Cooperaction: Knowledge and Skills for Sustainable Cities in the Global South".

Studying for a degree and working have made it necessary for me to learn very quickly how to prioritize tasks, and have instilled in me the need to remain flexible. I have had to be highly organized in order to meet tight deadlines both at work and study.

Being an architect required also to be very versatile and know how to better submit your work using a clear and interesting graphics, for this reason I’m able to use graphic software as In Design, Illustrator, and Photoshop. For my work I also use Autocad and Revit Architecture. Thanks to my training in the arts school “Amedeo Modigliani” I have great graphic-pictorial and artistic ability and dexterity in the technical design but also freehand. I have had different experience in working as a volunteer in developing countries, where I had an experience in a construction camp. Years of volunteering in Italy and abroad, with many experience in Rwanda, in Palestine and in Albania expecially in working camps (in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2014) have allowed to broaden cultural horizons and developing professional interpersonal skills even in complex situations; also giving high professional ethical standards and adaptability to different workplaces.

Being young makes me more available to the movement, and more flexible towards the multitude of requests that is expected of a job and allows me to be more rapid learning of new skills and knowledge. Within the group of labor ability to have total cooperation, but also sometimes healthy and fruitful competition, however, aimed at achieving the objectives.
I have ability to be the group leader in the management and division of tasks, setting goals and working to deadlines, always maintained. Mutual respect of roles and responsibilities between colleagues.
I know English well and I'm studying French, I learn quickly!
