Meet me, a BI Consultant with a Master’s in Telecommunications Engineering from Politecnico di Milano. With a couple of years of experience in different industries, I bring a unique perspective to the intersection of tech, business, and design.
Passionate about both Power BI and UX Design, I find immense joy in combining the two to create impactful data visualizations.

When I’m not working magic with data, I can be found exploring the world, picking up new languages, doing yoga, and immersing myself in great books.
