About

๐ŸŒ Ciao! I grew up surrounded by the culture and warmth of Italy, and while Italy will always have my heart, Australia has been home for the past decade. Today, I feel like the perfect mix of both worlds. Being fluent in both Italian ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น and English ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง allows me to move easily between cultures and connect with people from all walks of life. ๐Ÿ’ผ Professionally, I work as a Customer Support Hub Specialist in a fast-paced customer solutions environment. I enjoy guiding my team through challenges, achieving targets, and most of all, finding solutions that keep customers happy. Problem-solving and creating positive experiences are what drive me every day. ๐Ÿ“ข Before that, I explored marketing and social media, where I developed strategies, built websites, and created campaigns for lifestyle products. Staying on top of digital trends and finding creative ways to engage audiences is something I still carry with me. ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Iโ€™m also highly skilled with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) and enjoy learning new tools that improve efficiency and workflows. ๐Ÿถ Outside of work, Iโ€™m a proud dog parent to a chocolate Labrador who has taught me plenty about patience, loyalty, and joy. My love for animals reflects the compassion and care I bring to my work and relationships. ๐Ÿค Iโ€™m always open to connecting and exploring new opportunitiesโ€”letโ€™s connect
