Rimodulando il mio percorso lavorativo, dopo quasi quindici anni di insegnamento come docente nella scuola pubblica, ho intrapreso la strada verso la consulenza e la formazione aziendale abbracciando il mindset Agile. Ho trasferito tutto il mio bagaglio di competenze in ambito people in questo settore.

Autrice dell'articolo 'Ready-Steady-Sprint. Quando Scrum incontra la didattica' e di 'Una retrospettiva fra i banchi di scuola' sulla rivista Agile Italia Magazine. Ho avuto l'onore di essere invitata dall'autrice a scrivere la prefazione al libro 'Le Organizzazioni Agili. Ripartire dall'uomo per produrre valore' di Carmela Flaminio. Scrum Master & PO, innamorata degli OKR. Non scendo a compromessi con la mia felicità.
