“Higher than actuality stands possibility”

— Martin Heidegger, Sein und Zeit – Being and Time, §7

I grew up in Cortina d'Ampezzo and am now pivoting towards translation and interpreting, as well as consulting on marketing content. My past experience in Austria in hospitality and as a sport-climber made me consider my passion for the Alps' culture and history from a new, clearer perspective. It was in the heart of the Dolomites where I discovered and further developed my great interest for rising to new heights, while contemporarily caring for my interests – likewise for my character as a language mediator and translator, communicating in German and English and growing further from all day-to-day learnings.

For the summer season 2026 I will be promoting the valley of Ampezzo and all the ways that it surprises, firstly, myself.

I now move to be a creative professional wanting to stand for a sustainable, coherent, anthropocentric development of the alpine region. Today I combine my vision of modern tourism and the wish to build strong bonds within the alpine region.
