I was born and raised in Rome, Italy, before moving to the United Kingdom, where I studied at the University of York, the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and Lancaster University.

My academic career has taken me across the UK and China, giving me the opportunity to teach and work with students from diverse educational and cultural backgrounds. In the UK, I held academic appointments at the University of Southampton and the University of Surrey, before continuing my career in China at Donghua University, the Sino-British College, and Soochow University. 

Throughout these roles, I have taught a wide range of courses in marketing, business, and economics to undergraduate, postgraduate, and MBA students, along side taking on programme leadership responsibilities. I am currently a Teaching Fellow in Business Studies at the University of Waikato–SISU joint programme in Shanghai. 

My research interests include the internationalisation of higher education, global talent management, and graduate career development, with a particular focus on China. 

Having experienced international education myself, I understand both the opportunities and challenges of studying in another country. This experience has also shaped my approach to teaching, and I particularly enjoy helping students adapt to new learning environments and prepare for further studies and international careers. 

In my spare time, I enjoy football, playing the guitar, photography, and travelling. I also enjoy exploring new places, meeting people, and discovering different perspectives along the way.

 

本人出生并成长于意大利罗马,后前往英国深造,先后就读于约克大学、伦敦政治经济学院(LSE)和兰卡斯特大学。 

我的学术职业生涯横跨英国和中国,拥有丰富的跨文化教学经验,曾与来自不同教育和文化背景的学生共同学习和工作。在英国期间,我曾任教于南安普顿大学和萨里大学;此后赴中国发展,先后在东华大学、上海理工大学中英国际学院及苏州大学从事教学工作。 

在上述高校任职期间,我面向本科生、研究生及工商管理硕士(MBA)学生讲授市场营销、商业管理和经济学等多个领域的课程,同时承担教学项目的管理工作。目前,我担任上海外国语大学与新西兰怀卡托大学合作项目的商科教学研究员(Teaching Fellow in Business Studies)。 

我的研究兴趣主要集中于高等教育国际化、全球人才管理及大学毕业生职业发展等领域,尤其关注中国的相关发展与实践。 

由于自己也曾有过海外求学的经历,我深刻理解学生在异国求学过程中面临的机遇与挑战。这段经历也塑造了我的教学理念。我尤其乐于帮助学生适应新的学习环境,为他们未来的深造及国际化职业发展做好准备。 

工作之余,我喜欢足球、弹吉他、摄影和旅行。我也热衷于探索新的地方、结识不同背景的人,并在交流与旅行中接触和理解多元的文化与观点。
