HOBBIES
I am a very active and sportswoman, I like spending my free time at the gym and
swimming. In the past I have done horse riding for several years, sport which
gave me the passion and love for animals. I really love to stay in contact with
nature, both in the sea and mountain environment. I also enjoy reading novels
and cooking cakes.
I love to travel, I attended English courses in England and Ireland and several
adventure journey with the WWF in Greece, Germany and Holland.
I lived six months in Texas during my PhD and I visited Mexico for a month.
I think that I have a good ability to problem solving, a marked sense of
responsibility and I am very open minded, so I establish and maintain good
working relationship within a multicultural team.
