I am an independent journalist and photographer who specializes in climate, environmental issues, and global economics. What I enjoy most about my job is finding the human angle behind the story, and pinpointing how science, technology, and policy combine to impact lives.

Before freelancing, I was a staff writer for Fortune Magazine in New York City, where I covered energy, technology, and economics. I got my career start writing and editing for Earth.Org, an environmental media nonprofit in Hong Kong.

I've been fortunate enough to have some of my work supported by external organizations and grants, without which travel and field reporting might not have happened. 

I was awarded a fellowship from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting to investigate how climate change and overfishing were causing fish stocks to plummet in Lake Tanganyika, an enormous water body straddling the border between Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I also received a fellowship from Magma Magazine to document how traditional grazing practices in Italy could help with wildfire prevention.

Beyond my freelance reporting, I occasionally help companies or start-ups active in the environmental and health space develop editorial and content strategies. I have a bachelor's degree from DePaul University and master's in science and environmental journalism from Northwestern University. 

I was born and raised in Italy, and have since worked across Europe, the U.S., and in Hong Kong. I've also been able to file stories from around half a dozen countries on four continents. I've reported from jungle wetlands in Sri Lanka, where researchers are testing nature-based solutions to extreme floods, and from uninhabited islands in Alaska, where north Pacific currents deposit tons of plastic debris each day. 

I'm convinced even seemingly local stories can resonate globally if told the right way.
