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

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. I have worked with organizations and institutions such as the Italian-Canadian Archives of Quebec (oral historian), Ingenium (researcher), MEM — Centre des mémoires montréalaises and Alliance Donne (researcher/content developer), and at Panoram Italia magazine (food writer).

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 (2023), 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.
