Biography
I have been working as Associate Lecturer in Italian at Birkbeck, University of London for over two academic years, since 2023.
Besides Birkbeck, I am currently full-time Assistant (Teaching) in Italian Language in the School of Languages, Cultures and Film at the University of Liverpool, where I teach language for the degree programmes with Italian at all levels. I have also been part-time Tutor in Italian Language at the Centre for Foreign Languages Study (CFLS) at Durham University since 2022, but I also taught both Italian Language and Translation Studies at Durham from 2020 to 2023, where I contributed seminars and lectures to the B.A. in Modern Languages and the M.A. in Translation Studies.
Prior to joining Liverpool, I was Teaching Fellow in Italian at the University of Sheffield and Associate Lecturer in Italian at both Newcastle and Northumbria University.
