Activities i am interested in:

I'm particularly enthusiastic about activities related to promoting well-being, education, and cultural exchange, such as participating in community service projects or educational initiatives.

Description

As a psychology student, I'm genuinely excited about the diverse opportunities within the realms of cultural exchanges, community service projects, educational initiatives, or even exploring the local culture and language scene.

I'm committed to contributing to initiatives that foster mental and emotional health and I'm eager to lend my skills to educational initiatives that empower individuals to realize their full potential. Exploring local cultures, traditions, and languages enriches my experience and paves the way for meaningful connections with individuals from varied backgrounds.

I have participated in different projects during the course of my life. My involvement with the 'sosteniamoci' ONLUS volunteer project in 2021 allowed me to contribute meaningfully to community development. Through this project, I witnessed the tangible impact that collective efforts can have on enhancing the lives of others. As an academic tutor in the 'Tutoring Online Program' (TOP), jointly promoted by Bocconi University and Harvard University, I am actively engaged in fostering the psychological and socio-emotional well-being of students.

I have also experience as a receptionist at a tourist facility in Como from 2020 to 2022 which was a valuable lesson in communication, organization, and customer service. This position required me to manage guest interactions and booking processes, honing my ability to create positive experiences for visitors.

Finally, I find joy in sharing my passions. Cooking has been a way for me to express care and creativity.

The achievements I'm most proud of:
One of the accomplishments that truly stands out for me is my participation in the 'sosteniamoci' ONLUS volunteer project. This experience allowed me to contribute to the community in a meaningful way, working alongside dedicated individuals to make a positive difference. Being part of this project illuminated the power of collective efforts in creating tangible impact, and it's a memory I hold close to my heart.

Work Experience:
In terms of work experience, I've been fortunate to engage in a variety of roles that have shaped my skills and outlook. I've served as an Academic Tutor in the 'Tutoring Online Program' (TOP), an initiative promoted by Bocconi University and Harvard University. My responsibilities involve enhancing the psychological and socio-emotional well-being of students who are in need. This experience has deepened my understanding of the importance of education and support in fostering growth.

I've also taken on the role of a Receptionist at a tourist facility in Como, where I managed guest communication, check-in and check-out procedures, and monitored booking websites. This role has taught me the value of effective communication and customer service in creating positive experiences.

Additionally, I've worked as a Teaching Assistant at The Oxford Nursery - Summertown, where I engaged with children up to 5 years old. This experience honed my ability to support and connect with young minds during their formative years.

Education:
My academic journey has been a cornerstone of my growth. I'm currently pursuing a Psychology degree at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Milano, with an expected graduation date in September 2023. This academic pursuit aligns perfectly with my passion for promoting well-being.

Moreover, I've embraced the opportunity for advanced training through the "Educazione interculturale" program, an intercultural education training course provided by Vis - Volontariato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo. This initiative reflects my commitment to fostering understanding among diverse communities.

Furthermore, my exchange experience as a psychology student at Universidad de Deusto in Bilbao, Spain, through the Erasmus Program, has broadened my horizons and allowed me to immerse myself in new cultures.
