Summary
I’m currently working as a teacher at Italingua School of San Francisco, where I teach both advanced and intermediate
students. In 2009 I’ve been also working as an Italian translator for important projects. Before my theater and tv/movie
career started, I also collaborated as a free lance for italian papers and magazines.
As for my career in the arts, I worked in theater (1993 to 2000), and in film and tv fiction (2000 to present. I have worked
for mainstream italian movies and tv series as an assistant director. Later on I directed, produced and edited several
shorts and documentaries
