Francesca Cellini

Italian Language & Culture Rome, Italy
Hometown: Florence, Italy

Ciao! My name is Francesca and I will be leading CIEE's summer program "Language & Culture" in Rome during session 2. I was born and raised in Florence, Italy, and I am so excited to share my culture and amazing country to the participants of this program! This will be my third time leading a  CIEE summer program in Rome. I have a BA in Psychology from the University of Montana, and a MA in International Education from SIT Graduate Institute. As for international experiences, I volunteered as an English teacher and woman empowerment coordinator in rural Costa Rica for six months, and served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Mozambique where I was an English teacher-trainer. For the past couple years I have worked as Student Life Advisor at American universities in Florence.
