Born in Milan in 1980, she graduated in Arabic in 2004 and embarked on her career in the humanitarian sector, residing and traveling between the Middle East and Africa.

In 2013, she co-founded "Il Maestro & Margherita - Ethical and sustainable photography", a photographic studio project inspired by the principles of social enterprises. She is engaged in both commercial photography and the development of commissioned and personal photo reportages, often employing participatory photography techniques.
Since 2017, she has served as the head of the Programs and Research department at Lensational, a social enterprise that utilizes photography to empower women in the most vulnerable communities in Asia and Africa. Since 2018, she has been a member of the Italian Women Photographers' association.
