I am a researcher and strategic advisor working with accessibility and DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) in tech. I am interested in how digital ecosystems can support or hinder DEI efforts and social justice in organizations. I have over 8 years of experience driving impactful initiatives to promote diversity and foster inclusive cultures in computer science.

I am currently a PhD Fellow at the Computer Science department of the University of Copenhagen (Human-Centred Computing). I am a social anthropologist by training, and I have years of field studies experience in the U.S., Mexico and Denmark. 

I draw on ethnographic methods and design-based methods to study the role that social context plays in shaping people's interaction with digital technology - and how technological change shapes social patterns.

My main fields of interest are:

• Cross-cultural differences in computing education

• Gender normativity, social inclusion and computing

• User experience research

• Visual anthropology

My background is interdisciplinary: I hold a BA cum laude in English & American Literature (University of Bergamo) and a MSc in Anthropology (University of Copenhagen). I like to play with maker tools like laser cutters and 3D printers - mostly for fun, sometimes for prototyping purposes.
