“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” - Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela
This brings me back to the essence of the quote. I have come to understand that what truly matters and brings me happiness is not just what I do but what I do for others.Interests

More details about your skills
I have a master’s in Health Economics, Management, and Policy from the University of Bologna, and my research dives into topics that truly matter to me—socioeconomic disparities, mental health, adolescent wellbeing, intergenerational inequality, women’s rights, and sustainability.
But beyond academics, I believe in creating positive change.
For years, I volunteered at an afterschool program in my neighborhood, mentoring and teaching middle and high school students. I worked as an accompanying tutor for student internships abroad, guiding and supporting them as they explored new professional and personal horizons.
I’ve also been actively involved in local city initiatives, helping organize community events, digital outreach projects, and engagement programs—anything that fosters connection and makes an impact.
Professionally, I’ve worked in public health management and project coordination at the European Commission, where I gained experience in administration, policymaking, and strategic planning.I worked for Facebook and Instagram for 8 months in Lisbon working with digital media and helped small/medium size enterprises with their Ad accounts.Age

What else ...
I love dancing, practicing acroyoga, slacklining, reading, photography, exploring philosophy, contemplative discussions as well as light-hearted conversations, gardening, jamming on the drums, and sunsets
I find peace in nature and am always seeking ways to grow, learn, and improve myself.
I can also cook moderately, I know to cook well Italian and Sri Lankan food.
I could help you with photography and videography.
At my core, I am curious, open-hearted, and strive to embrace the present and future with optimism.Some more information
