My lifelong passion
Words. Their power to connect. To inspire. To change minds and lives. And what a journey they have taken me on.
From interpreting for heads of state and government at the United Nations to working with negotiators under extreme pressure. From advising international leaders to teaching at Politecnico di Milano.
And into classrooms, where I volunteer to help young people see through manipulation, framing and the influence of social media.
Different worlds. Different challenges. One common thread: what words do to us, and what we can do with them.
