The Bio

French-Italian writer based in London, chamber music violinist, and aspiring screenwriting coach — restlessly crafting modern stories with vibrant, international characters across genres and formats.

I’m all about writing sparkling rom-coms that make your heart smile, coming-of-age dramas with realer-than-life characters, and electric thrillers with twists that actually deliver. Whether it’s for film or TV, I’m committed to bringing fresh, unforgettable stories to the screen.

Some of my credits include radio episodes, documentary treatments, poetry, and even YouTube scripts. My loyalty to the craft knows no bounds — I dive into each project with curiosity, structure, and a genuine creative spark.
