I graduated with a master’s degree in energy engineering and during my education I studied the design and management of energy systems and processes through the correct use of resources. During my experimental thesis, I examined carbon monoxide conversion in industrial applications.
My first job was with a company that produces biodiesel where, having to deal with the entire biodiesel supply chain, I increased my passion and expertise in this field.
Since October 2018, I have joined the Etacarinae team.

After graduating in Energy Engineering – Renewables and Environmental Sustainability – at the Politecnico di Milano, I started my career in the field of Environment and Sustainability working, initially, as a Project Manager in the Projects and Innovation group for a Waste Consortium. Later, I decided to gain experience abroad, working for a year for an NGO in Lima, in the field of circular economy in the manufacturing sector.
Back in Italy, in 2025 I was accepted into Etacarinae where I can provide technical and management skills.

I first met EtaCarinae and appreciate their professionalism and vision during an internship as part of my bachelor’s degree in Management Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan. This experience allowed me to gain a concrete understanding of the dynamics of the sector and sustainability issues. Today, I work within the company, helping clients address the challenges of environmental sustainability in the energy sector. I’m particularly fascinated by the opportunities offered by resource optimization and reuse, aspects I consider fundamental in order to promote more efficient and responsible development model.

Following an international research experience focused on sustainable agriculture, I earned a Master’s Degree in Business Management, specializing in Sustainability.
I subsequently developed my expertise in the biogas and biomethane sector, providing technical consulting and supporting companies in managing regulatory requirements and compliance across their supply chains.
At Etacarinae, I continue this path by applying my experience to support companies with traceability and certification in the renewable energy sector, contributing to the transition towards increasingly sustainable and transparent energy markets.

Always passionate about environmental sustainability and land protection, I earned a Master’s Degree in Ecotoxicology and Environmental Sustainability. My thesis, in molecular biology applied to ecotoxicology, was recognized as the first of its kind worldwide within a European research program dedicated to protecting the Mediterranean Sea and large cetaceans.
I began my career as an ecotoxicologist, building a strong scientific background and gaining in-depth insight into the real-world dynamics of environmental impacts on organisms. To apply these skills at a strategic and decision-making level, I then specialized in environmental sustainability and impact assessment tools such as Carbon Footprint and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
I joined Etacarinae in 2026, where I guide companies in measuring their environmental impacts and tackling sustainability challenges in the bioenergy sector.

My academic background began with a degree in Industrial and Environmental Biotechnology, a scientific foundation I later put into practice in the field, in both operational and managerial roles in industry.
I started my career at a multinational company in the cosmetics sector, where I worked with rigorous quality standards and complex compliance procedures. I then gained key experience at a vegetable oils and fats refinery, taking on roles of increasing responsibility along the process line: I was in charge of quality control, regulatory compliance and the traceability of sustainable raw materials, residues and by-products, from intake through to processing, working directly with sustainability certification schemes and supply-chain documentation.
In 2026 I joined the Etacarinae team, bringing hands-on expertise built in close contact with plants, process parameters and sustainable supply chains, with a focus on the circular economy and the challenges of the energy transition.
