She is a lecturer of Italian studies at the University of Pennsylvania, and a translator of queer theory, art criticism, and the children’s book series Geronimo Stilton. She is the co-founder and an organizing member of the Queer Studies Caucus of the American Association of Italian Studies, and a Co-Investigator for the AHRC funded network QuIR [The Queer Italia Network]. Her own scholarship focuses on LGBTQIA+ representation in Italian media.
