I have a degree in Biology and specialize in Medical Genetics. I work at the Casa Rosetta Association where I have been responsible for the Medical Genetics Laboratory and the Genetic Counseling Center, since 1992. Since 2003, I have been involved in training in the health sector, and since 2008, through projects with UNODC, in management of training of professionals on prevention, treatment and recovery of persons with SUD.

I have managed a cascade training activities targeted to professionals coming from African countries; and a training on GROW curriculum addressed to women from Afganistan. In 2019 I have organized a Basic Level UTC series in Tanga, Tanzania. Since December 2021 I have been appointed as the Director of the National Chapter ISSUP-Italy.
