W O R K EX PER IENC E
Italian by birth and Argentine by origins, MSc graduated in Building Architecture at the Politecnico of Milano. I describe myself as a person with great ability to adapt and interact with different people and situations. The curiosity and the desire to learn pushes me to continuously measure myself in new challenges and experiences, always aiming to better outcomes. Passionate about architecture, I also define empathy, teamwork and reliability as my key-words.
