A lifelong New Yorker, Francesca proudly calls the vibrant NYC her home. With an itch to travel and explore from a young age, she got her first taste of education abroad during her month-long high school exchange to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After graduating, Francesca embarked on her first of many JFK-EDI journeys, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in International Relations and Management at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. While there, she worked as a Student Ambassador and Mentor, helping incoming and prospective students—particularly internationals—acclimate to Scottish culture and navigate life in the UK.

Francesca further expanded her global perspective when she undertook a study abroad in her third year at Sciences Po in Paris, where she once again embraced a new academic system and fully immersed herself in French culture.

At Skola, Francesca is dedicated to guiding students through every step of their international education journey—from setting up a UK bank account and mobile plan to mastering academic writing in the French or UK education systems—and helping them thrive abroad.
