Valentina has been navigating the wild and wonderful world of IFERA since 2016, on a noble quest to support the academic community, research and society
Armed with a Degree in Hospitality and Event Management, a BA in Business Administration, and a Master's in Science Communication, she's more equipped than Indiana Jones on a good day.
Before she decided academia was her true calling, she worked for different hospitality establishments such as Marriott International — yes, that small family business you've probably never heard of.
Valentina's passions are diverse, spanning research, communication, events, and basically anything that requires a splash of creativity.
When she's not championing the IFERA cause, you can find her bothering the neighborhood with her drumsticks, alongside her trusty sidekick, Zelda Zoe Jr (the dog, not the video game character), and occasionally spending time with her beloved husband, Josip, especially when he is not busy writing a paper.
