• Skipper

Hi all! I was born and raised in Verona (Italy), currently living in Aberdeen (Scotland). I'm bilingual (Italian/English), with both Italian and British citizenship. I'm currently working as a fisheries acoustician for the Marine Directorate of the Scottish Government. My job is to help understand the impact of offshore wind farms on the marine ecosystem through the use of echo-sounders. Since a young age I have been passionate about the sea and sailing, I used to skipper a sailing boat on Lake Garda and organize various summer cruises throughout the past years. The "Sailing home" project will be my biggest sailing challenge, yet.

Also, going home after 10 years in Scotland is an unbelievable feeling for me.

Hi everyone! I'm Italian, born in Verona. In June 2023 I graduated from the University of Aberdeen in Zoology after 4 years of studies. Previously, I spent one year in Iowa (USA) as an exchange student during high school. I am interested in scientific communication using art as a medium, which was also the central theme of my Bachelor thesis. My biggest passions are painting and drawing, which I have been practicing since a very young age and continued pursuing throughout my studies. I love nature, the sea, sports, and learning about different cultures. 

I'm ready to go home after 5 years of living in Scotland. I cannot wait to start this adventure, listen to the silence of the sea, and fill my heart with life.
