When I was little every kid had a snack on the lawn but I used to climb the tree and had my snack there because at that height I could see the world from the top. Although I was a little tornado (and I still am) I have always been farsighted comparing to others, instinct? Magic? Sixth Sense? I do not know but I am sure that it is one of the points that my personality has in common with Spotify. And why am I the best fit? Because first of all I am a customer! The idea is the engine of innovation but at the foundation there must be two necessary elements: knowledge and transversal thinking. I am currently attending the last year of bachelor’s degree in international economics and management at Bocconi University, a studying path that day by day has fueled my interest in strategy and technology with computer science, corporate finance and management classes, many extracurricular activities such as android coding and python advanced and a lot of projects in partnership with many renowned companies. During the projects my teammates have defined me as “the leader” but actually I was just the person who was able to think differently and find innovative solutions such as the proposal of a fidelity game app for one of the major premium luxury companies which allowed my team to enter the final of the challenge. Currently, I am an intern in the international marketing and product division, my task is to find new growth strategies through statistical analysis so that the services that the company offers can be expanded on the national territory. Thanks to my problem-solving skills and the models that I developed, after a month of work an increase of 16% in traffic was recorded on the company website. Another interesting aspect of me is the ability to do more things at the same time such as playing the piano and the violin while singing, like being the most pleasant person and the most annoying one to work with due to the precision and attention I pay to every single detail or like being a very creative person but at the same time applying analytical thinking to every situation. I do not like to waste time so I am very keen on time management and I try to apply every IT skills to accelerate processes whenever I can. In addition to climbing as a child I loved venturing into the high seas dreaming of being a mermaid. Even if my tail has never appeared, I became passionate about freediving, learning not only to hold my breath but also to set goals, challenge myself and push my limits further. Among my passions I have to mention the one for live performing arts that pushed me to join Bocconi Live Performing Student Association where currently I am a cast member of the annual musical that they hold every year and the head of the marketing division.
