Bilingual in English and Italian, I began my career as a multimedia editor and have since specialized in the comprehensive management of websites, including content creation, organization, and social media promotion. Over the years, I've developed a strong expertise in podcast development, producing content in English and leveraging AI to create versions in several other languages. Currently, I consult for MedEA Academy, producing podcasts within a Continuing Medical Education framework and working on health-related podcast series for an Italian patient association. Beyond my primary work, I am engaged in teaching courses on podcast development and planning, collaborate with international soccer websites, and run a football blog. My professional journey has encompassed project planning, content management, multimedia editing, and coordination of cross-disciplinary teams in the healthcare and education sectors.
