I am a pronounced italophile who has lived in Italy and currently resides in New York City. I earned my master's degree in Linguistics through Middlebury College, however all of my coursework was completed in Italian and most classes taken at the University of Florence. My thesis was on 19th Century Italian Lexicography and the Manzonian position.

I have formerly worked for the Italian Consulate in New York and I am currently a Senior Account Executive for a Public Relations and Marketing agency that specializes in food, wine and spirits and I work mostly with Italian clients.

I love to read, play basketball, play guitar, cook and most of all speak Italian.

Languages are my passion and impeccable grammar is what I strive towards every day!
