About me

I have always been obsessed with stories but thought that science would be the only acceptable career for me. I was raised in Italy but was also fortunate enough to live and study abroad while wokring in science. When I realized I liked science just as a friend, I started to pursue writing, this time with true passion. I studied and worked in comics for years, but I am also going back to my original love for novels. Find me on BlueSky.

Currently querying my first prose novel.
