Caterina has spent her whole career working with American universities and has been with ISI Florence since 2004. Discovering the world of academics and students, Caterina realized that she wouldn’t want to work anywhere else.

Her frequent visits to American campuses to promote international education has given her keen insight into the cultural bridges that students must cross to make their adventure abroad a valuable one. While Italy’s universities don’t have the same campus structure as US schools do, she considers Florence a comparable campus-like size and lifestyle and encourages students to live the whole city experience.

Besides an extensive traveler and reader, Caterina can also be seen galloping on horseback, whizzing by on skates, or volunteering with the Red Cross.
