My academic background is in Industrial Engineering, with a focus on renewable energy, reflecting my commitment to sustainable development. My studies have taken me across Europe, with universities in Berlin, Paris, and London shaping my perspective. Originally from Germany, I am passionate about leveraging international collaboration to drive positive change and innovation in the field of sustainability.

I joined SDSN Youth in 2020, taking over various roles in the Mediterranean region, as volunteer, Deputy NC and finally Network Coordinator for over a year before transitioning to Regional Focal Point. I am originally Italian but I am currently living in Brussels (Belgium), where I work in the field of sustainability in the non-profit sector. I am also part of other youth organisations focusing on climate action, as Generation Climate Europe and The Green Fix. My greatest passion is cooking, which also makes me very interested in sustainable food systems and the role of youth in innovation in the agri-food sector.
