I AM FRANCA
Ciao! Let me tell you a little bit about me.
I am a Certified Life Coach, Educator, and Consultant with a unique blend of Italian heritage and New York City experience. My journey from Italy to the U.S. has shaped my belief that spending time in nature, enjoying vibrant food, and developing your personal style are essential to wellness.
With over 25 years of experience in management, education, and consulting, I work with young adults, entrepreneurs, and creatives to help them make confident, impactful life choices and navigate challenges with clarity. I hold a degree in Political Science and Economics from the University of Bologna and a master’s in management, and I have taught at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) and the Istituto Adriano Olivetti (ISTAO), where I blend academic insight with coaching to create transformative learning experiences. My background in luxury fashion, leading business development globally, has deepened my understanding of sustaining authentic, effective choices in a fast-paced world.
I’m trained in ethical leadership, inspired by Mary Gentile’s Giving Voice to Values, and certified through UP BuildingCoaching, with a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential in progress with the International Coach Federation.
I envision a world where individuals thrive with purpose, self-awareness, and a deep connection to both nature and humanity. Outside my work, I enjoy arranging flowers, exploring nature, and creating fresh dishes inspired by Italian and Ayurvedic traditions—because wellness, at its heart, is found in the simplest moments of creative vitality and in genuine, healthy connections.
