👋
I am Elena Poddighe
I was born in the '90s in a beautiful island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea: Sardinia. This is an island with an incredible history, rich in culture, gastronomy, languages, music. It is an ancient place constantly modified by the sea and the wind, a place you would fall in love with. My hometown, Sassari, is the second-biggest center of the island and the first of the north area of the island. There, I spent the first 20 years of my life, studying and making the best ofla dolce vita. Sassari is big enough to have a University, where I enrolled in the the fall of 2012. There, I started my Political Sciences studying journey, with a focus on International Relations.
Between 2013 and 2014, I spent ten months in Grenoble, France. It was my Erasmus year and, needless to say, the best year of my life. Back to Sardinia in 2014, I finished my Bachelor's studies in 2015. The September of the same year, I moved to Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, for my Master's degree. Want to guess the topic?
In 2018, I moved to Spain in search of a new life adventure and, possibly, a
job. I have to admit, I found both. In 2019, I worked for one of the biggest insurance companies in
the world, and I learnt what hard work really means. In 2020, I joined a start-up and moved
my first steps into the business world. At the end of 2021, I
became a recruiter and further developed my business skills. In 2023, I decided to move completely
to the remote-side of the working life, but that experience was cut short by a massive layoff wave
at the company I was working for.
What now? While I secure my next professional step in the business world, I am a front-end developer
student @SheCodes. You are currently visiting the final project of my 6th workshop.
