As a journalist, and published author, I have a passion for sharing stories and cultures especially through wine and food. I am the founder and president of La Com Agency, a strategic P.R. and communications firm focused on the wine industry, where I help clients grow and inspire others with their stories.I am an author at Podcast Italia Network, where I create podcasts about Italian wine, food, and lifestyle, and a published author at Slow Food Editore. I have a degree in Scienze della Comunicazione from Università degli Studi di Bergamo, and I hold multiple certifications from Vinitaly International Academy, North American Sommelier Association, and Wine & Spirit Education Trust. I have written three books, three podcasts, and several columns for magazines such as Edible, SommJournal, and Tasting Panel. I am an international wine judge and educator, and a stories hunter by nature. My mission is chasing good taste around the world.
