      • Oct 2019 - Present

      After a few years at Dante Rotterdam, I now have the opportunity to continue teaching Italian as a second language a little closer to my home town. Within my courses, I give a lot of attention to the ludo-didactics, implementing games to help the students remember vocabulary and grammar rules more easily. In my courses, I usually have small groups, of around 5-10 students.

      • Feb 2015 - Present

      In 2015, I started up the Italian market from scratch for European market leader Medisol. By now, we have a significant turnover with dealers and consumers everywhere in Italy. In my daily job, I prepare commercial offers for clients with different specifics and demands, bearing the company margins and risks in mind; I study marketing strategies to increase the yearly turnover through contracts of exclusivity or minor contracts and I study the marketing strategies for the "end-user" market. It goes without saying, that I care for my existing partners, dealers and customers on the Italian market and keep close contact with them. In 2022 I became Senior. Show less
