My background includes in-depth studies and several years of works in the field of music as well as video production for theatrical projects and documentary films about arts and social issues. I studied ten years at the Conservatory of Music of my city in Italy, and then obtained a BA in Communication, an MA in Film Studies, an MFA in Scriptwriting and a PhD in Communication in Milan. As a result of my will to serve as a humanitarian videographer, in the past few years I have become official videographer for NGOs like Compassion International, Global Mamas and International Women's Initiative, and started to work as a videographer for humanitarian projects. I am a very self-motivated person; I believe in team working and with my range of educational, artistic, and practical experiences, and as a videographer and editor with an unusual range of studies, international and eclectic experiences, I would be a useful asset to your audio-visual storytelling.

Where business, branding, and storytelling intersect. Our slogan reflects two sectors for which we create content, Corporate Video and Television Programs. Our clients span across business sectors: technology, fashion, design to food, wine and hospitality. And we’ve produced non-fiction television content that has gone on to air internationally. That’s how I’d sum up Modio Media, the company I founded with my partner, Gia Marie Amella, in Chicago in 2006. I have various roles at Modio Media. I handle daily business that includes developing projects, making client presentations, overseeing freelance staff and creating budgets. On the production side, I alternate between sound recordist and cameraman. For more complex projects, I supervise hired freelancers through each production phase. In the studio, I edit audio and video, create simple 2-D animation, and produce original music and sound tracks. For editing, I use FCPX and Motion. Pro Tools and Izotope Music Production and Post Production Suite plug-ins are essential tools that I use to clean, equalize, master, and optimize tracks that conform to standard audio levels for television, digital, and radio.
