Laureata in Scienze Naturali all'università di Pavia con una tesi sulla marmotta alpina nel Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso, non ho più lasciato le Alpi né le marmotte. Ho fatto un master in Canada continuando la ricerca nel PNGP, con il quale ho iniziato anche una collaborazione sul tema della lontra euroasiatica. Ho concluso un dottorato di ecologia con l'Università di Torino, e mi occupo della gestione di un centro scientifico del Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso dedicato alla conservazione della lontra e degli ecosistemi acquatici.
I miei interessi vertono sull'ecologia comportamentale in particolare dei mammiferi, sulla conservazione e sulla comunicazione della conservazione.
