About Me

Hello!
I am a multimedia journalist based in London. I have just completed my degree in Journalism at City, University of London.
Originally from Italy, I started working as a journalist when I was 14 as an Education reporter for my local newspaper "Messaggero Veneto". There, I wrote opinion pieces and investigative features on a combination of education and current affairs topics.
I have always looked at British journalism as an example of good and responsible practice. So, in 2017, I decided to move to the UK, to pursue a career in this industry.
Here in London, alongside my studies at City University, I did work experiences at Thomson Reuters Foundation, Press Association and The Times. I am currently a freelancer at Optimum Nutrition Magazine.
I am very passionate about fitness and wellbeing - I used to be a professional artistic roller skater - but I could settle for a good dystopian novel.
Among my life goals, I want to discover more hidden wonders of the world and become the next BBC News editor.
After I graduate, I would like to step into broadcasting, potentially working for a multimedia platform, creating innovative stories and reporting about humanitarian issues.
