More details about your skills
Besides my academic skills acquired during my bachelor's degree in Milan such as coding experience, teamwork, problem solving and analytical skills, I had the opportunity to engage to an Erasmus program in Lisbon and an internship near Zurich. These experiences have provided personal and inter-personal skills, needed to adapt and to absorb different cultures and different people.
I have always had the opportunity to spend from two up to four weeks abroad during my summer breaks in high school and university to improve and practice my English. I relied on the international education company EF and I had educational travels in England, United States, Canada, Australia and South Africa. Besides mastering my English skills during these trips, I acquired valuable soft skills such as cross-cultural understanding, flexibility and adaptability that helped me to grow personally and taught me to feel comfortable with the uncomfortable.
I have experience in tutoring students from elementary and high school and help them out with subjects such as Maths, Physics, English, Italian.
Moreover, I have experience in working as a waitress and child care worker in a touristic resort in Tuscany: I had to oversaw the children in lieu of their parents' absence and engage activities for children with different nationalities such as German, Austrian, French, English and Italian. I had to provide an excellent wait service to ensure satisfaction, take customer orders and deliver food and beverages. These work experiences have provided me with several transferable skills:
- attention to safety and compliance
- communication skills
- observational skills
- organization and planning skills
- patience
- empathy
- time and stress management
