Originally hailing from upstate New York, Miranda has called various cities (and countries) home over the past decade. Ultimately putting her roots down in Florence, Miranda has been discovering all the sites, smells, sounds, and tastes of the city for years now.

A graduate of Simmons University in Boston, Massachusetts, Miranda’s passion for foreign languages and international politics led her to study abroad in Barcelona, Spain, and Florence, Italy. Her experience living among different cultures and languages impacted her greatly and later influenced her to pursue work as an EFL (English as a foreign language) teacher in Edirne, Turkey, and San Sebastian, Spain. Eventually, Miranda’s work brought her back to Florence in 2014, and she has never looked back.
