Personal note

I love the beach and nature. I go horse riding and that’s where I find my inner peace when everything else is chaotic. In my spare time, I like going to the cinema, watching series, going for walks and trying out new restaurants.

Friendly and communicative by nature, she likes to travel, discover new places and cultures that enrich her both personally and professionally.

Arts are a constant in her life. She loves visiting museums, exhibitions and having contact with different artistic expressions, which allow her to explore and experience new perspectives and points of view.
