I am a biologist, specialized in taste, food and nutrition 

I was made in Italy but my itchy feet led me to Ireland, the United States, Germany and the UK, working in some of the best universities, research centers, and food companies  

For more than 15 years, I have been exploring food and nutrition from multiple perspectives: as a researcher, innovator, and storyteller working across R&D, scientific affairs, and science communication

With a BSc, a MSc, a PhD, 50+ publications that reached 1500+ citations, 1 book chapter, and 2 patents, I have built up a transversal knowledge across biology, nutrition, taste & food sciences

I also love to tell stories ​​​​​

Avid reader since I can remember, my passion for writing and communication has taken many shapes: short fiction stories, a novel, popular science books and articles, songs which I try my best to sing. 

I love when words and ideas cross borders: I’m a native Italian speaker, speak English at a near-native level, and can happily chat in Spanish

I approach life 

The way I climb mountains: it’s a matter of hard work, perseverance, respect, passion and teamwork, knowing that it’s not the summit I conquer, but myself

When I don't travel around the globe, I spend most of my time between London, UK and Turin, Italy
