a great deal from his VEGAN VIDEOS |
Hi everyone, my name is Gian Luca, friends just call me Gian and I’m originally from Galliate, Italy. An interesting fact about me is that I love food! I also enjoy cooking and being vegan, I have been trying to veganise every traditional Italian dish, yes even Carbonara pasta and lots of people are still asking me where I get my proteins from.
My passions are social media and my friends. I enjoy sports like running and swimming. I also do a lot of yoga and meditation, which helped a great deal during lockdown. I am a very ambitious person, driven and motivated to achieve both business and personal goals. I am a hard-working individual with great communication skills who is able to work both independently and as part of a team, motivating whoever is around me. I focus on maintaining key client relationships to make sure I meet and exceed their expectation by dealing with them always in the best professional manner. Strengths include determination, enthusiasm, time management, punctuality and respectfulness towards colleagues and others around me. |
