Caterina Marino, Program Director, Rome

Caterina is a qualified counselor with experience employing integrated approaches, alongside serving as a consultant for transactional analysis communications. She is also a licensed Master Practitioner in Neurolinguistic Programming, with a solid legal background. These experiences has enriched her skillset, enabling her to apply cognitive and emotional analysis to the development of human potential in all areas of her work.

Her career has allowed her to gain experience in a variety of different contexts. After working for a few years between Italy and England, she began working at CEA CAPA Rome in 2010 in student affairs, and later in roles of increasing responsibility, proactively supporting students at every step of their experience abroad and becoming well-versed in dealing with a wide spectrum of situations. Her work also expanded to include custom programs. Now in her current role as Program Director, she particularly focuses on ensuring operational efficiency and effectiveness across various administrative offices.

She is a native of Rome and is passionate about Italian culture and arts. Fond of anthropology and different cultures, she travels extensively, thus far visiting Europe, North and South America, Asia, and Africa. Her favorite place in the world, after Rome, is Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.

Cate’s work is consistent with the idea that studying abroad is a life-changing and mind-opening opportunity with the power to transform the futures of our students and, through them, to have an impact on future generations. A commitment to excellence, integrity, and ethical behavior, as well as to global awareness, social justice, and care for others, are her guiding principles and values, inspiring every action she takes, at work as in life.
