She owns a master in Communication from the University of Macerata, worked as a language instructor at Dalhousie University, and acted as an event coordinator between Canada and America for the last 20 years.

After spending two decades between Nova Scotia and California, she finally moved to Blacksburg in 2019, where her husband Francesco started his position as Professor of Fisheries Management and Conservation at Virginia Tech.

She likes to spend time outdoors with her husband and embrace nature with her two daughters Martina and Beatrice.
