I am a PhD researcher at the University of Trento. My research interests include post-Soviet space, geopolitics, and discursive practices applied to states’ identity construction and security. I graduated from my Master’s in European and International Studies, with honours. During my Master’s, I spent four months studying Russian and post-Soviet politics at the Higher School of Economics in St. Petersburg, Russia.I worked as an intern at the Italian Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva, and later at the Permanent Mission of the Dominican Republic to the FAO in Rome. These experiences provided me with a deep appreciation for the importance of collaborative efforts in addressing global issues.I am ambitious, open minded, and always eager to learn. I love to work in a team and connect with new people.
