Italian: Raffaella Misuraca, Ph.D.

“I specialize in Cognitive Psychology and Motivation and am proud to be part of the Speak! team as a specialist in motivation and learning processes. With over 20 years of experience, I have been teaching psychology classes at the college level in both the USA and Italy. Aside from teaching, one of my greatest passions is traveling. When I travel, I immerse myself in the local culture, striving to understand and experience life as the locals do. Being both Italian and American, along with my children, our identity extends beyond citizenship to language and culture. Whether in Italy or the USA, we feel at home in both places. Our lives have been enriched by straddling two worlds, enjoying the unique experiences each has to offer.

During our travels, we embrace the role of explorers, driven by a vocational desire to discover new places, cultures, and ways of living.”
