I'm a public historian, artist, and writer, based in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal), telling and listening to stories about immigration, identity, collective memory, food, and folklore, particularly in relation to the Italian-Canadian experience and traditions from my family's region, Molise. I am also interested in representations of girlhood in the context of 90s and y2k pop/post-feminism and girl power movements.

My work is about imagining and remembering, and sometimes imagining memories. Art is a space in which I have explored themes of memory, nostalgia, identity, and autobiography. My work as a public historian is inspired and informed as much by these explorations as the theories and methodologies of historical work. My practice is multi-disciplinary, bringing together my training as an oral historian, with installation art and digital media.

I graduated twice from Concordia University with a BFA in Studio Arts and an Italian minor, and a BA in Honours Public History. In 2019, I completed my masters in Public History at Carleton University. My research project, The Yellow Line: Italo-Canadian Oral Histories from Montreal's Backyards and Schoolyards, was an archival photo, installation, and oral history pop-up exhibit, presented at the Casa d’Italia in March 2019.

Since 2019, I have been a contract teacher in the department of History and Classics at Dawson College. As a freelancer, I am always looking for opportunities to collaborate and engage in public history work through museums, archives, and organizations that value innovative, interactive, diverse, and meaningful engagements with history, culture, and heritage. From 2023-2024, I was in the first cohort of Scholars in Residence at the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling at Concordia University. In September of 2024, I received their Little Prize, awarded annually to a community affiliate making a meaningful contribution to their community, through oral-history research-creation, arts-based storytelling, and/or creative, place-based, oral history work.

My latest project was an oral history cookbook on the stories and recipes of Montreal's molisani, Dalla valigia alla tavola: A journey through Molisan culinary heritage, which I completed in collaboration with the Federazione delle associazioni molisane del Quebec, photographer and artist Vee Di Gregorio, chef Joseph D'Alleva, and pastry chef Erica Marsillo.

As of September 2025, I will be pursuing my PhD in History at Concordia University on the development of Italian-Canadian cuisine and food identity in Montreal.
