About me
I am a Communication and Cultural Management professional with a seven-year practical experience – both as an employee and a freelancer – in the museum and broader cultural sector. I have a profound interest in cultural heritage and its intersection with new media and technologies, towards an inclusive and more participatory approach to communication.
