I’m an investigative journalist with more than a decade of experience reporting across the Middle East and Europe on human rights, labour, migration, and surveillance.

 

My work combines on-the-ground reporting with open-source research and data-driven methods, and includes collaborations on cross-border investigations. 

​

My reporting has appeared in Al Jazeera English, Deutsche Welle, L’Espresso, El País, Foreign Policy, NPR, New Lines Magazine, and BBC news, among others. I also write and voice my own audio reportage and have briefly worked as a TV producer.

​

I’ve been based in Turkey, Italy, Palestine, and the UK, and I work across formats - from podcasts to video - always aiming to connect the dots between power structures and individual stories.

​

I am originally from Italy and completed my higher education in London, including a master’s degree in Global Media from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS).

​

I’m fluent in English and Italian, speak good Spanish, conversational French, and  survival Arabic. I’m also working on improving my Turkish, currently at B1 level. I am HEFAT-certified and a member of the Italian Journalists’ Association (Ordine dei giornalisti del Lazio, albo pubblicisti).
