About Me

Born near Milan in Italy and now based in Edinburgh, I am a graduate in Acting for Stage and Screen (2017), working between music, theatre, and storytelling.

I trained with Gabriele Vacis, within a lineage influenced by Grotowski, and have taken part in workshops with directors across the UK, Italy, and beyond — shaping a practice rooted in physicality, voice, and instinct.

I have created, written, and performed two solo shows that blend narrative, movement, and live performance, and I regularly appear at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

My work is driven by passion, rhythm, and a slightly dangerous love for drama — whether I’m singing jazz standards, building characters, or turning a song into a story.

My current project, Italian Jazz Affair, reimagines Italian and American classics as cinematic, storytelling-driven performance — part concert, part theatre, part memory.

Alongside my performance work, I work as a vocal coach at DC Music School in Edinburgh, supporting singers and performers in developing technique, confidence, and expressive presence.

I am currently developing a new theatre piece exploring recovery and transformation.
