About

I am a dedicated professional with experience in Purchasing Coordination, Indirect Procurement and Commercial Operations. Throughout my career, I have built strong skills in vendor management, sourcing support, contract negotiation and cost analysis, working closely with cross-functional teams to improve purchasing processes and support broader business goals. A key part of my journey was moving abroad to grow both personally and professionally. That experience helped me develop adaptability, cultural awareness and fluency in English and Italian skills that have strengthened the way I communicate, collaborate and solve problems in diverse environments. I am currently completing the final year of my Marketing degree, which I previously paused while pursuing international opportunities. Earlier in my academic path, I also completed my certification as a Medical Sales Representative, gaining additional knowledge of healthcare systems and commercial operations.
