My training was in international relations, communications, languages and law, and I have HQ and field experience. I have been working since 2002 for NGOs and international organizations. I started in Italy within a European Commission network, following up projects in Brazil, India and Russia. My first position in Geneva was as representative of the Italian Ministry of Economic Development to Swiss and international organizations. Successive positions, for Swiss Development Agency (Rwanda), UNICEF (Mali) the EU, the UNHCR
(Greece), the International Federation of the Red Cross, enabled me to utilize my interests. These include humanitarian affairs, human rights and solution finding in line with the dignity of the human being. My work has been in the areas of public relations, communications, resource management and research.
