Work experience

I have several work experiences in the field of project management, education, and training, related to disability studies and politics. I have followed the project since the writing phase connecting body requests to programs' requests. My biggest interest is about multiple discrimination risks for under-represented target groups (e.g., the intersection between disabilities and stigmatized ethnic groups, the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, asylum seekers, etc.).
From 2016 to 2018, I work as Educator and linguistic facilitator in a project involving migrants and refugees in Italy.
Since 2017, I work at the Turin Institute for the Deaf as a youth and community worker, project manager in charge of the implementation of the Erasmus+ program (Ka1, Ka2, Ka3, and Capacity building) and the European Solidarity Corps.
Since 2018, I am the vice-president of the Associazione Ergon a favore dei Sordi, and responsible for the management of training activities and volunteers.
I also work as Sign Language Interpreter in a European context mostly in training courses or youth exchanges where D/deaf and hard-of-hearing people are involved. For that purpose, I collaborate with Italian, German, and French NA in OAT and MTE where D/deaf and hard of hearing people were present.
I am also a writer writing in two fields: narrative and essay.
I am a member of the Pool of trainers of the Ente Nazionale Sordi, the national organization representing D/deaf and hard of hearing people in Italy.
I am registered in the register of examiners of international Italian exams as a foreign language of the University for Foreigners of Perugia - Italy
I am registered in the register of examiners of international Italian exams as a foreign language of the Società Dante Alighieri - Italy
I am registered in the register of the Innovative Educational Trainers from EIPASS | European Informatics Passport.
