  • Anywhere, Italy
  • April 29, 2025

I'm a native English and fluent Italian speaker based in Rome. I have 10 years of experience in the travel industry, as well as over 10 years of experience working in the arts sector, whether that be managing artists, designing exhibitions, or creating content for one of the world's most-read sites for cultural content.

I have also authored a book on street art in Rome and contributed texts to galleries and publications featuring artists in Rome.

I have been working remotely for over a decade and am skilled in time management. Driven and focused, I am analytical and enjoy helping clients and companies reach their goals.

Naturally curious, I enjoy researching and writing about a wide variety of topics and using my skills in SEO to ensure that my content gets out to the widest audience possible. I'm looking to expand my portfolio and take on more writing projects remotely.
