Summary

With 15 years of teaching experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table. After relocating to Italy in 2009, I not only became fluent in the language but also pursued further language education through an Italian language course. My natural inclination towards organization and attention to detail ensures smooth operations and a sense of control in all tasks. A strong work ethic drives me to fulfill my responsibilities seriously. I take pride in my well-groomed appearance and articulate communication style. Embracing a growth mindset, I am always eager to acquire new skills and expand my expertise, enriching my professional journey.
