Graduated from Sorbonne University with first class honors and top of her class, and a former white collar and corporate crime lawyer in the United States, she has returned to Italy after 8 years between Paris, Brussels and New York.

Since March 2022, she has reported from the ground on the war in Ukraine, spending extended periods in conflict areas and in October 2023, she worked for over a month between Israel and the Palestinian Territories covering the war in the Middle East, writing for Limes, the Italian Journal of Geopolitics and newspapers such as Il Messaggero and The Huffington Post. Since then, she has continued to operate regularly across the Middle East, working on the ground in critical areas such as Israel, Palestine, Iraq, Kurdistan and Syria.

In 2023 she published “Geopolitica. Capire il mondo in guerra” (Piemme Editions) with a foreword by Lucio Caracciolo, later presented at the Library of the Italian Chamber of Deputies under the auspices of the Presidency. She is the author and host of the podcast “Il Grande Gioco” (The Great Game) and author of the geopolitical newsletter “Extrema Ratio”. She publishes editorials in several outlets, including Informazioni della Difesa, the official magazine of the Italian Ministry of Defence.

She lectures at universities, business schools and companies, and advises managers and institutions on geopolitical risks. She is a regular guest on national television and radio, commenting on international affairs.

In June 2025 she won the special award “Opening New Ways of Journalism” as part of the Ischia International Journalism Award, one of the most prestigious Italian recognitions dedicated to excellence in the field of journalism, “for her ability to convey complex international current affairs with clarity, rigor, and depth, making geopolitical issues -often reserved for a specialist audience- accessible to the general public”

She is now in bookstores with her latest book published with the Italian Navy and Giunti Editions on the first historic deployment of the Italian Aircraft Carrier Group throughout the Indo-Pacific, a mission she followed aboard the aircraft carrier Cavour in September 2024.
