PROFILE:
I am a proud Franklin alumna, and my connection to the university began early. I first visited Lugano in 1995 as a baby, while my aunt was studying there. Years later, I returned as a student in 2012 and earned a degree in International Management. My brother followed in my footsteps, making Franklin a meaningful part of our family’s story.
After graduating, I returned to Switzerland to pursue a Master’s degree in Marketing at Università della Svizzera italiana. Professionally, I have worked in marketing and communications, including serving as Director of Marketing, Communications, and Events for a Chamber of Commerce in the United States, followed by experience at a marketing consultancy.
Today, I am happy to be back at Franklin, combining my professional background with my experience as an alumna. Franklin offers a truly global, personalized liberal arts education that fosters curiosity, cultural awareness, and lifelong connections. I am passionate about helping students and families determine whether Franklin is the right fit and supporting them as they begin their academic journey.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, seeking out great food, and staying connected with the Franklin community, often visiting friends around the world.
