She graduated in Architecture at the Polytechnic of Turin (2014) after a research period in Tokyo (Japan). Subsequently, she worked in Mumbai (India) in the Dharavi slum for Sameep Padora & Associates and URBZ Studios. Also, in India she studied at the Sinhgad College of Architecture in Pune and she attended the Summer School in Auroville.

During this time, she started to focus attention on smart urbanism. During PhD experience (started on September 2017) she have focused her attention on the smart territorial components in a controllable dimension such island system. These analyzes were strengthened during the study and research period abroad (Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland). In this context, it was possible to analyze the islands structural inhomogeneities with the repercussions in the socio-economic context which, obviously, suffers from all the factors related to the insularity.
