Gianni Mastrangioli

Communications Officer

he/him

Gianni is the Communications Officer at the Scottish Youth Parliament. A storyteller by nature, his role is to make sure all SYP’s communications channels reflect young people’s views and concerns about Scotland, including its current policies and social issues. He helps MSYPs and stakeholders deliver their goals and objectives by crafting compelling messages in alignment with our manifesto.

Before joining SYP, Gianni worked as a Communications & Events Assistant at Edinburgh Trams, playing a key role in keeping residents updated on the Trams to Newhaven project. He’s been in the UK for nearly a decade and gained a Master of Arts with Distinction in Journalism from Edinburgh Napier University in 2021.

Gianni is originally from Venezuela, where he studied history and taught it in high school and at several public universities. As a teacher, he built a space where students felt safe to show up as themselves; not just to learn history, but to be the protagonists of their own stories!

Outside of work, Gianni is passionate about well-being and personal growth. He practices mindfulness and meditation regularly and is interested in how spirituality, mental health, and creativity intersect.
