Biography

I am a PhD student in Urban and Regional Studies at the Polytechnic University of Turin. My research primarily focuses on migration governance and socio-political power dynamics. I have conducted fieldwork in Tunisia and collaborated with various Italian NGOs on issues related to migration, sustainable development, and gender. I have also gained experience with UN bodies, working on topics such as peacekeeping, peacebuilding in Latin America, and UN Security Council reform. Additionally, I collaborate with the LINKS Foundation, where I assist in project management within the research domain 'Innovation in Culture, Society, and Public Administration' (ICS).
