Since 2013 she has contributed to the development of three seasons of ‘VICEonSkyTG24’, a television program reporting from Italy and the world. In 2017 she co-founded the independent production company Unozerozerouno and in the same period produced several television reports for the Rai 2 prime time program ‘Nemo, nessuno escluso’ and began collaborating with various foreign networks and newspapers including the BBC, The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal.

In 2018, she became Outreach and Programming Coordinator of the Italian chapter of Video Consortium, and in 2019 she taught both the Video Journalism, and Reporting and Digital courses of the Holden School and the Master of Journalism of Turin. In June of the same year she won the DIG Pitch Award together with three other colleagues, thanks to which she made the documentary Iraq, gioventù in prima linea [Iraq, youth on the front line] in Baghdad for the French-German television channel Artè.

In 2020, she joined the Will team, the largest community in the world for social information in Italy, initially as a video producer and then as a leading author and media partner. Here over the years she has dealt with Diversity Equity and Inclusion, rights, healthcare and immigration and has created various reportages, from Guatemala to Ukraine.
