A little bit about me
I am a dedicated ICT Coordinator and Educator at Ambrit International School in Rome, Italy. My primary focus revolves around identifying optimal methods to seamlessly integrate technology into our educational curriculum. I curate a blog, ‘teachingwith.it’, where I offer insightful reflections based on my experiences.
My professional journey boasts a diverse and dynamic portfolio. Over my 18 years in education, I have worked as an ICT Coordinator, a PYP Classroom teacher, a MYP Design instructor, an Art teacher, and a PE educator. Each role has been a cherished chapter in my story.
Beyond education, I’ve delved into the world of web design, tried my hand at professional football coaching, and explored a myriad of other passions. This eclectic background, while unconventional, equips me with a diverse set of skills and perspectives. It’s a joy to bring this unique blend into every facet of my work.
