I was born and raised in Italy, in Apulia County, Italy's leading producer of durum wheat. I’m from Altamura also known as “The City of Bread ''.

I’m a Master’s Degree student researcher continuing my research in the Krasileva Lab with the purpose of writing my master’s thesis on characterisation of potential promoters in wheat that can be useful to engineer the plant against biotic and abiotic stress, that could be more frequent in perspective of climate changes and world populations growths.
