WELCOME

I am proud to serve as Head of School ad interim, DP Coordinator and IB Psychology teacher at DIS, where I have been teaching since 2017. Having graduated from this very school, the opportunity to give back to a community that played such an important role in my own life is both humbling and rewarding. Before transitioning to education, I worked in research in the field of neuroscience, but I find shaping young minds far more fulfilling. The DP is a rigorous yet balanced program that not only prepares students for academic success but also equips them with the critical thinking and life skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. It challenges students to push their limits while fostering a balanced, resilient approach to learning. I am deeply invested in supporting our students as they make meaningful connections with their education and grow into principled, caring, and globally aware individuals.

I have been working at our school since 2005 and have been enthusiastic from the very beginning about the concept of student-centered teaching, where the needs of the students are at the heart of learning.
It is very important to me to spark curiosity and interest – as the foundation for learning that lasts far beyond school. In this way, I hope to contribute to shaping our students into lifelong learners.
Another focus of my work is the promotion of intercultural openness. Exchange and understanding of other cultures are, for me, essential elements of a contemporary education.

Ho iniziato a insegnare nell’anno 2008, coronando un desiderio che avevo fin da bambino.
Sono laureato in Conservazione dei Beni Culturali e abilitato all’insegnamento nella scuola primaria.
Ho avuto il privilegio di essere chiamato alla Deledda International School nel 2016, anno in cui è nata la primaria e da quel momento è iniziata una fantastica avventura durante la quale, insieme alla comunità scolastica che è andata via via crescendo, ho avuto la possibilità di contribuire allo sviluppo della scuola, cercando sempre di migliorarla e renderla un luogo di apprendimento di qualità, accogliente e sereno.

I began teaching in 2008, fulfilling a lifelong dream I had since childhood.
I hold a degree in Cultural Heritage Conservation and am qualified to teach in primary school.
I had the privilege of being invited to join Deledda International School in 2016, the year the primary school was founded. Since then, a wonderful journey began—one in which, together with the growing school community, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to the school’s development, always striving to improve it and make it a welcoming, peaceful place of high-quality learning.

I’m proud to be part of the Deledda International School community, where I’ve been teaching since 2018. My own international school experience in Mozambique, Congo, Greece, and Austria, together with a background in English and Italian literature, inform my multilingual, inquiry-based approach to teaching. Our diverse and dedicated PYP team combines Italian and international perspectives, placing student-led inquiry at its core. Supporting students as they think critically and learn independently is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
