Luisa was born in Rome and later moved to Florence, where she feels at home. She had always known about GBU, but her personal experience with the association began in 1997, when she first joined the GBU in Florence. Luisa began working with GBU as a volunteer in 2007, helping to organise the Student Conference, and since then has been involved in the organization of national events whilst occasionally lending a helping hand with translation.

She has been Head of the National Office since October 2010.
