Born in Macerata in 1989, she began her training in Rome, where she moved after high school to study acting. She continued her studies in Milan, where in 2011 she was admitted to the School of the Piccolo Teatro, under the guidance of Luca Ronconi, her master, who directed her in Pornografia by Witold Gombrowicz and Celestina by Michel Garneau, from Fernando de Rojas.

In 2014 she won the Best Leading Actress Award at the MonFilmFestival for the short film La Sete (“The Thirst”) by Micol Rosso and Simone Rivoire.

She continued her collaboration with the Piccolo Teatro di Milano, working with directors such as Roberto Latini, Damiano Michieletto, Carmelo Rifici, and Giorgio Sangati. Among the projects she took part in is 5 Centimetri d’Aria, a monologue about kidnappings for ransom during the 1970s, directed by Marco Rampoldi with dramaturgy by Paola Ornati, a collaboration between the Piccolo Teatro and the course Sociology of Organized Crime taught by Nando dalla Chiesa at the University of Milan.

In 2016 she joined the cast of the historic production Arlecchino, Servant of Two Masters by Giorgio Strehler.

In 2022 she starred alongside Giorgio Colangeli in the film Castelrotto, directed by Damiano Giacomelli. That same year, she continued her training with John Strasberg and took part in the 30th edition of the École des Maîtres, led by Claudio Tolcachir, during which she created her short film Agata.

Alongside her acting career, she also works as an assistant director in theatre, collaborating on several productions directed by Marco Rampoldi.

In 2025 she plays Virginia in the RAI 1 TV series Balene, starring Carla Signoris and Veronica Pivetti, directed by Alessandro Casale.
