About Writer
I am a native English speaker and fluent in Italian, 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, including managing artists, designing exhibitions, and creating content for one of the world’s most-read cultural content sites.
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 range of topics, utilizing my SEO skills to ensure that my content reaches the widest possible audience. I’m looking to expand my portfolio and take on more writing projects remotely.
