Greta Maggi
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in foreign languages for business (during which I had the chance to study in Italy, in the UK, and the USA!), I work in the digital marketing field, and I enthusiastically contribute as a writer to different organizations, carefully putting special focus on gender quality and politics. During the past years, probably as I have been exploring new realities, I realized my passions lie in the field of public relations. Indeed, I’ll start a Master's degree in Strategic public relations in the US next year. I think I found out I was overly passionate about politics and women in politics by studying journalism and researching. Main interests: women in leadership / gender bias / international relations / online misinformation & disinformation. I truly believe that words are one of the most powerful means to advocate for women's equality. Also, I think my generation can bring awareness to important causes and act for meaningful changes.
