Summary

Italian native speaker, fluent in English and proficient.


After almost 10 years in retail and a couple of years around European skies as a flight attendant , switched to customer service. Thanks to all these experiences I've understood how much a positive attitude and a friendly voice can impact someone else's day.


Currently working in recruitment , after all, what's a better way to help someone than helping them with their dream job?
