Brazilian and Italian Citizen
I am a highly motivated and proactive professional, with a broad experience in the government sector, who enjoys being challenged and genuinely believes in dialogue as the main tool for conflict resolution. In my career, I have had the opportunity to occupy positions - in the public and private sectors - in which my ethical stance and my pragmatic management, leadership, and negotiation skills were crucial to representing and reconciling interests. I have a Master's in Public Administration, held at the Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (EBAPE-FGV) and at the Università Degli Studi di Bergamo (UniBG); Graduation in Legal and Social Sciences, held at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
(UFRJ). I am currently looking for the opportunity to contribute to a Government and Institutional Relations team, certain that I will be able to effectively assist the activities of this strategic sector. Work Experience
