About

Born in Germany from Italian parents, with an Australian nanny always by my side and holidays all over Europe, my childhood was a mix of accents and cultures from the beginning.
From an early age, I was interested in foreign languages. This interest, over time, turned into a passion that has led me to live, study and work in different countries around the world.
After years spent in Italy, Sweden, Spain, the UK and Australia, I am now in Lugano where I founded Popcorn English in 2019.
Popcorn English comes from my desire to work with children and adults to be able to share my passion for foreign languages as well as what I have experienced during my journeys and life around the world.
