EXPERIENCE
Since 2012, my writing and multimedia work has focused on human rights, culture, diversity, representation, accessibility, and inclusion in health, the media sector, and society at large.
My work has appeared on The Independent, i-D, VICE, The Evening Standard, Refinery29, Business Insider, Dazed, The Huffington Post, Huck, and Lettera Donna, among others. I write in English and Italian, and my articles have been translated into French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, and Chinese.
In 2016, I was selected to join Pro Journo’s international reporting team in Davos, Switzerland, during the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting. In 2014, I joined the Pro Journo ‘Women in the Media Industry’ Fellowship to report on challenges and positive models for women in the media.
I worked as a video host for VICE Italy and I have been a speaker and a moderator at national and international events, including the International Journalism Festival in Perugia.
