A work psychologist and psychotherapist, she has been part of the Xena team since November 2006. She works on European mobility projects, with a particular focus on inbound transnational internships, including Erasmus+ VET and FSE ALMA. She works alongside Mary Zambrano and follows these pathways through all their phases: from preparation — in close contact with sending partners to build a personalised profile of each participant — to support during the stay in Italy, through to the final follow-up. She manages both the organisational aspects and the human dimension of the pathway, facilitating social inclusion, intercultural learning and the wellbeing of participants throughout their time in Italy.

For several years she has also been collaborating with the Istituto Scalcerle in Padova to prepare students for Erasmus+ VET mobility projects, through programmes focused on the development of intercultural competences and the management of expectations before departure, and to support the debriefing process on return, fostering the integration of learning acquired abroad into participants’ educational and professional pathways.

She believes deeply in the value of continuous growth and in every person’s capacity to re-elaborate and broaden their understanding of the world through experience — values she finds reflected every day in her work at Xena, which she experiences as a constant source of enrichment and inspiration: a place to express oneself, engage with people from diverse cultures and build something meaningful together.
