About Me
I am a fourth-year Communications major at Rutgers University, specializing in Strategic Public Communication and Public Relations, with a minor in Digital Communication, Information, and Media. Originally from Italy, I came to the United States to pursue both my academic and athletic goals as a student-athlete. These experiences have shaped how I approach teamwork, responsibility, and problem-solving.
As a student-athlete, I have learned how to manage competing priorities, communicate effectively within teams, and stay organized under pressure. I am motivated to gain hands-on professional experience where I can apply these skills while continuing to develop my interests in communication, organization, and project-based work.
