I'm an Italian international student who started the university journey in the United States of America at Stetson University and I'm now continuing my college education at Butler University. Since my arrival, I have fully embraced the American experience, enthusiastically tackling the challenges and opportunities that present themselves in a new country and a different academic environment.As a student athlete during my freshman year I was in the Stetson University tennis team and I am now in the Butler University tennis team.Being a student athlete requires commitment, discipline and resilience, characteristics that I bring to both the tennis court and the classroom.I am pursuing studies in finance with a concentration on investments. Since I was a child I have been fascinated by the world of finance and investments. This discipline offers me the opportunity to combine my intellectual curiosity with the practical skills needed to understand the global financial market.Through advanced finance courses and practical learning opportunities, I am developing a solid understanding of financial instruments, investment strategies and market trends. I am particularly interested in exploring the challenges and opportunities related to risk management, asset valuation and creating diversified portfolios. My aspiration is to apply the knowledge gained in the real world, helping to make informed financial decisions, and adopting sustainable and responsible approaches to investing.My move to the United States at 19 was driven by both the search for a challenging university path and the opportunity for personal growth and maturity. I am determined to fully embrace this experience, adapting to a new culture, building meaningful relationships, and broadening my perspectives in learning and life.
