About

I am a native English speaker but speak fluent Italian, basic French, basic Swahili and am currently learning Arabic at university. I have had experience tutoring English and other academic subjects, as well as in media content production. Having had a very global childhood, I engage well with people of all languages and cultures. I am passionate about 20th century Middle Eastern history and journalism, as well as social media and languages.
