My Story

After traveling
90+ countries I built
my life in the Dominican Republic

Born in Italy. Educated at the Università Cattolica di Milano. Then — 90 countries, thousands of conversations, and one clear realization: the Dominican Republic is one of the world's best kept secrets, and Latin America's youth deserves better tools to thrive in it.

After 9 years building businesses, supporting schools, and developing communities here, I've committed to two missions: bringing the Dominican Republic to the world's stage, and bringing the world's most important skills to the next generation through Impulso.

The advocate this country deserves

After visiting 90+ countries and choosing to call the Dominican Republic home, I speak from 9 years of lived experience — not guidebooks. I bring the real story of an emerging nation to stages worldwide.
