Education consultant · Italy & international schools

For schools
Consulting & professional developmentInternational schools carry unique pressures — high student mobility, diverse needs, and leadership expectations that often outpace internal resource. I help schools build the structures, policies, and staff capacity to respond well when it matters most.

For families
Tutoring & one-to-one supportWhether your child is struggling academically, finding school socially difficult, or simply needs a consistent and trusted adult in their corner — I offer tailored one-to-one support that looks at the whole student, not just the grade.
I understand international school life from the inside — the pressures of the IB, the challenge of transitions, and the particular experience of young people growing up across cultures. Sessions are available online and in person in the Brescia area.

Rock & Water
Rock & Water is an evidence-based psychophysical programme developed to support social-emotional learning, emotional regulation, and positive group dynamics. It combines physical exercises with reflective discussion to help young people — and adults — develop a stronger sense of self, better communication skills, and genuine resilience.
As a trained Rock & Water facilitator, I deliver sessions for student cohorts, staff teams, and groups in transition. The approach is practical, engaging, and culturally adaptable — which makes it particularly effective in the diverse environments of international schools.

About
"I didn't become a consultant to sell frameworks. I became one because I've lived the complexity of international school leadership — and I know there are schools and families who need someone who understands it from the inside."
My career has taken me across international school systems — working simultaneously as Diploma Coordinator, Head of Pastoral Care for secondary, Director of Student Support, Safeguarding Lead, and Athlete Coordinator. I know what it is to hold multiple roles, to navigate the specific pressures of the IB, and to support students who are growing up between cultures.
I'm now based in Brescia, Italy, and working independently — bringing that experience to schools and families across Italy and beyond.
