Biography

After a BA in Linguistic and Intercultural Mediation from Sapienza - Università di Roma (2014) and a MA in European and non-European Languages and Literatures (Portuguese, Japanese) from Università degli Studi di Catania (2019), I'm currently a PhD candidate in Feminist Studies (FLUC/CES) at Universidade de Coimbra. I've been awarded a FCT scholarship for my research project, which is centered on the analysis of Brazilian author Cassandra Rios' novels. Before enrolling in my PhD programme, I worked as a linguistic mediator (Italian-Portuguese) and as an Italian (as a foreign/second language) teacher for Sicilian NPOs. I also organised tutoring activities for Portuguese language students during my MA at Università di Catania.
