Valeria was born in Messina, Sicily. She comes from a small village and enjoys the quiet and calmness that nature can provide. She has a bachelor’s degree in linguistic mediation and a master’s degree in international relations. She has always been interested in the protection of nature and environmental studies. Amidst a temporary break to decide what to do next in her life, she has pursued a passion of hers, deciding to become a volunteer in Dadia.
