Hello everyone!
My name is Valentina, and I am a italo-italian girl who moved in London 4 years ago to follow her dreams. Since when I was a teenager, I wanted to do become a doctor, and growing up, I found that my real passion was nutrition, thus, helping people to make healthier choices to live a full and happier life (hopefully disease-free).

After my graduation with a first class honours in Human Nutrition, I feel like I have the power to help this world to become a better place, and Involvement Volunteer IVI is giving me the opportunity to do that in Bali, where I would provide healthcare services and/or basic eduction to schools and communities! Sounds pretty exciting, no? 

I believe that a volunteering experience in Bali as Health and Nutrition Educator would be beneficial for me in order to finally put in practice what I studied in the last years, helping to make this world a better place, as well as, growing as professional and as person. I worked really hard to arrive where I am now, I moved to a foreign country, and I learned a new language, in addition, to support my studies, I always worked as waitress during my undergraduate, I am very motivated to pursue my dreams... I really feel like it has come the time to show that all my sacrifices were worth.
