Media content analysis of EU coverage in Italy. I was part of a team of coders for the analysis of the approach that the media have regarding European Union in different EU countries. The main activity was to read Italian selected articles and code them according to quantitative standards.

After the bachelor degree in Human Science of the Land, the Environment and the Landscape in Milan, I worked at the Commuter Manager Office of the Regional Agency of the Environmental Protection.

Firstly as a trainee, then as a project manager, I have set and defined the Commuter Plan of 21 ARPA departments in Lombardy.

I developed skills for the creation and management of a project:  data collection, research about availability of systematic solutions. Research about the mobility of ARPA Lombardy employees through questionnaires; research about structural and technical conditions of ARPA Lombardy departments. First elaboration of data collected. Description of the “accessibility profile of each department”. Data analysis, reports about general conditions, car users, public transports costumer. Goals, strategies, proposals for solutions. Activity of communication with each department and employees. Public presentation of the whole project.

During my Master Degree in Metropolitan Studies, my academic career has developed from a broad knowledge about the discipline to the formation of a critical approach till the employment of specific methods for the research of urban developments.

Specific disciplines:

Environmental Planning – Urban Governance – Social Challenges for the City - Economic Geography – Cultural Clusters Development – Research Methods - Urban Policy Design Laboratory - Public Policies Analysis- Real Estate Development

Final Thesis: "Local Institutional Environments as Filters of the Renewal of Derelict Industrial Sites"

Comparative institutional analysis, case-study research, Amsterdam and Milan
