CV

As a trainee journalist I wrote articles on daily basis. As a student and as a lecturer I have written two MA theses and, more recently, a PhD thesis and academic articles. I have also been successful in publishing a novel based on my travels.

I have lived in three countries: Italy, France and England. I have travelled in Europe and studied languages and culture because since I was a child my dream has been to become a journalist, travel and write.
