Professional Studies and Training

After earning a Master’s Degree in Pedagogical Counseling for Disability and Marginality from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan in November 2015, with a thesis entitled “Traveling between Fairy Tales and Cartoons. A path of Media Education,” from January 2016, I began collaborating with CREMIT at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan. In this role, I worked on research and training projects, focusing on the promotion of innovative approaches in education and the use of digital in an active and critical way by all actors in the educational process.

At the same time, I had the opportunity to hold the position of Cultrice di Materia at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Brescia and, in the same period, I had the opportunity to start working as an Adjunct Lecturer of Laboratories at the Degree Course in Primary Education.

Starting in September 2017, I undertook the role of E-Tutor within the Blended Master’s Degree in Business Consulting and Management, at the Faculty of Economics of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan. In this position, I focused my attention on creating specific teaching tools for students and offered continuous support during their learning activities, particularly regarding brick&click teaching and management of the BlackBoard platform.

As of October 2020, I embarked on my PhD program, supported by a fellowship in Personal and Educational Sciences – Cycle XXXVI. My research focused on the development of “Innovative Methodologies for Blended Learning in Higher Education,” with a thesis entitled “Gamification Theory and Methods. Analysis and Case Study in Higher Education.”

Finally, since January 2021, I have undertaken the role of Teaching Tutor within the Master’s level II Media Education Manager (MEM) program.
