Description

Writer & Researcher specialized in the origins, evolution and cultural history of the domestic dog.

For more than ten years I have worked across research, writing and scientific communication, combining archaeology, genetics, anthropology and the critical analysis of historical sources.

I produce clear, accurate and engaging content for educational, scientific and editorial contexts, with a strong focus on narrative clarity and terminological precision.

What I do:

• Content writing (articles, educational materials, scientific communication, storytelling)

• IT–EN–FR translations with a natural, precise and publication‑ready style

• Editing and proofreading of Italian texts

• Documentary research and analysis of historical, archaeological and genetic sources

• Cultural and linguistic adaptation for international audiences

My approach blends scientific rigor, clarity and narrative rhythm.

I deliver polished, coherent texts ready for publication, with transparent communication and punctual delivery.
