She previously worked as a journalist for the Italian news agency Formiche and collaborated with The Washington Kurdish Institute, The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Il Caffè Geopolitico, the Istituto Analisi Relazioni Internazionali (IARI), and the African Center for Strategic Progress. She co-authored several books and publications, including Diario Geopolitico: Afghanistan. Settembre 2001-Settembre 2021 published by AGC Communication in 2021, Il 2021 in Iraq.

She also spent several months at the UNESCO Office in Venice and three years at an Italian NGO associated with the UN Department of Global Communications and ECOSOC. While she continues her work in international affairs, her main area of interest still remains the Middle East and especially the Kurdish question, topics on which she continues to write on for theSquare Centre, where she has been a Research Fellow since 2020.
