I am a PhD candidate in the Comparative Literature department of the CUNY Graduate Center.My primary areas of interest are Italian and American contemporary media studies with a focus on representation of gender, sexuality and subversion in serials.

I currently teach Italian language and culture classes at Hunter College and Pace University and freelance as a translator. I have translated for RAI International Television Corp., Scholastic Books, and the University of Torino.

Right now, on TV, I’m watching: Downton Abby, Misfits, Mob Wives, Treme, 30 Rock, and Ru Paul’s Drag Race.
