Ciao! I have been a Resident Director here in Florence since 1984. I received my Laurea cum laude from the University of Florence, so I am extremely familiar with where you will be studying and living! I studied abroad myself; spending a year as an exchange graduate student in the U.S. I have also lived in Germany and the U.K. and traveled in Europe, Canada, India, Egypt and Morocco. As you can see, my love of travel never went away!

Ciao! I have been working with AIFS since 1998. I was born in Malta and received my Laurea from the University of Florence. I also studied abroad; spending a summer in the U.S. In my spare time I love traveling and continue to enjoy comparing different cultures.
My favorite aspect of being Resident Director of the Internship Program is seeing the "different light" that shines in students' eyes when the program is almost at the end. Studying a language in a foreign country is not just learning"one more language"; it is about opening your heart and mind to a new culture and experience of life.
AIFS Campus Staff with First Aid Training
Because health and safety are top priorities at AIFS, at least one member of the staff at this campus has taken a first aid course in order to be available to help any student until a doctor or nurse can provide help. This is just one of many services that we provide to our students.
