Dear NARALO leadership team,

I am Giannina – a passionate communication specialist inspired by producing powerful campaigns and delivering impactful digital strategies. My mission is to drive innovation with purpose. I work on developing projects where citizens can learn about key aspects of the Internet that are affecting our communities.

In my +9 years of experience promoting innovation and technology for social change, I have developed award-winning campaigns in partnership with institutions such as the World Bank, Google, the European Union, U.S. State Department, Organization of American States, UNESCO, Y20 (G20 youth engagement group), and American Express.

I’m proud to be a second-time ICANN Fellow (ICANN70, ICANN75), where I’ve learned that a responsible use of the Internet and information technology is essential for tackling misinformation and evolving from conscious education to conscious action. This September in Kuala Lumpur at the ICANN75 Annual General Meeting, I had the opportunity of knowing more of NARALO’s pivotal work ensuring that the expansion of the Internet serves us all, and advancing policies that enhance security, accessibility and stable growth. All of this has inspired me to join NARALO as an individual member.

The NARALO individual membership could be an excellent opportunity to learn more about best practices that I could implement in my community and professional life, as well as new projects and ideas to work towards key Internet issues in the region. This opportunity could also be a catalyzer to strategize and implement communication strategies to engage with a global community of researchers, practitioners, and key stakeholders.

I’m inspired to bring all my skills and multicultural background to enrich and deliver the values and culture of NARALO through a unique perspective. I would appreciate the opportunity to be part of your organization.
