Selene Rui was born and raised in Torino, Italy. She studied hotel management and languages and left Italy after graduating from college to experience the “full immersion” of different idioms and cultures. Her goal was to live in each country for 12 to 18 months, learning the language, cultural uses, and costumes of many places. After living in different parts of Europe, she decided to venture out to the United States for an 18-month contract. 18 months became 18 years, during which she gained American citizenship through naturalization, a stable job, and a house. She still needs her “Italy fix”; she visits the country and culture that shaped her, including her family and friends. She went back to school in the United States and got into accounting as math and numbers are not opinion-based. She sees her future still in accounting and HR. When she’s not at work she can be found mingling in the gym, busy with outside activities or dancing to Latin music.
