I write about what I can’t
stop thinking about.
Chances are, you can’t either.
About
My writing draws on personal experience, from the positive aspects of being Italian abroad to the hidden costs in our wardrobes. By living between two cultures, I see myself as a bridge, sharing stories across borders and bringing people together through what we have in common.
I am a writer from Naples, now based in the UK, with a degree in Political Science and a Master’s in International Relations. I work in Italian (native), English, and Spanish (DELE C2), and am currently learning Greek.
When I moved to London in 2014, I spent six years immersed in the world of luxury retail, including time at Selfridges and Harrods. I witnessed mountains of waste, relentless pressure to consume, and rivers of money fuelling it all. The more I saw, the harder it was to turn away.
In 2020, I found my way back to writing. It was not a new direction, but a return to a familiar path, this time with more stories waiting to be told.
My writing starts from something I’ve witnessed, lived, or questioned and builds outward into deeply reported, well-researched work. I bring cultural fluency, first-hand perspective, and genuine curiosity to every pitch.
This approach helps editors and brands find unique story angles that cut through the noise, bring audiences closer to the subject, and build engagement and credibility through authenticity.
If that’s what you need, I’d love to work together.
