Samantha Pinna
Italian Project Coordinator |
Samantha Pinna is an interpreter and translator specialized in cross-cultural communication. At the moment, she coordinates a project that promotes the integration of migrants and refugees and the development of multiculturalism. In 2007 she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Language and Cultural Mediation at the University of Milan, where she also earned her Master’s Degree in Languages, Cultures and International Communication in 2008. From 2010 to 2016, she worked for the Italian Health Service, where she didn’t only facilitate the interactions between medical and paramedical staff and migrant patients, playing a key role in the trust-building process, but also assisted kids from very diverse cultural backgrounds that underwent bone marrow transplantations. During this experience, Samantha had the opportunity to build strong relationships with the kids and their families both inside and outside the hospital and they still keep her updated on their lives in their home countries. Her passion for helping the most vulnerable people worldwide led her to start volunteering for a US-based NGO and for UNICEF and to be committed to using her cross-cultural communication skills to support migrants of all ages and with different ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds across Europe.
