Since I was very young, when I would ask myself what I would become as a grown-up, I always gave myself the same answer: a writer. At 22 I found myself treating the economy, environment, sustainability, lifestyles, uncovering a world that – fortunately! – isn't only for insiders, but quite the contrary. I'm a freelancer by choice, my field is that of communications (from press offices to social media) and I'm even more motivated when I can make my services available to brave associations and projects. When I'm not in front of a keyboard I run, read, bake cakes and go to concerts.
