Studying and working abroad has been a defining part of my life. Over the years, I have lived, studied, and worked across multiple countries, experiencing first-hand both the excitement and the complexity of building an international path.

These experiences inspired me to create My Study Coach, a service designed to make the journey to studying abroad simple, structured, and achievable. I combine realistic planning, thoughtful timelines, and ongoing guidance with the perspective of someone who has personally navigated international education systems and university admissions across countries.

Currently based in Munich, I work fluently in Italian, English, French, and German. This allows me to support students and families across cultures, as well as communicate effectively with universities throughout Europe.

My background blends an international academic journey with professional experience in consulting and structured project management. This combination translates into precise planning, clear timelines, and experienced, personalized guidance for students preparing competitive and well-aligned applications.

How This Helps Students

Having navigated international applications myself, I understand the questions, doubts, and pressure students and families often feel. My approach is calm, structured, and realistic, focused on helping students make informed choices and progress step by step.

The goal isn’t just university acceptance; it’s to create a clear, actionable path that fits each student’s ambitions, strengths, and circumstances.
