Research and communication for informed decisions
Independent Consultant · Researcher · Lecturer · Speaker
I help international organisations, NGOs and research teams understand their audiences, respond to misinformation and develop communication grounded in evidence. Based in Geneva, I work internationally at the intersection of communication and social and behavioural sciences.

What I Do
I connect research, strategy and learning to help teams understand people and respond to practical communication challenges.
Research and Analysis
I use social research and social listening to identify public questions, concerns and narratives, including misinformation and the ways people engage with digital media.
Communication and Strategy
I develop communication approaches and practical guidance informed by audience needs, social context and evidence, with experience in global health and humanitarian settings.
Teaching and Training
I design courses, workshops and simulation exercises that connect communication theory with practice and help participants examine media critically.
International Projects and Events
I contribute through technical review, stakeholder mapping, project coordination and international event delivery, working with organisations and their partners.

About Me
My work brings together sociology, social psychology and communication. I hold doctorates from Sorbonne University and Sapienza University, and my experience includes consultancy and technical roles with UNICEF and WHO, alongside research and university teaching.
I focus on how people encounter, interpret and share information, and how organisations can use those insights to make better communication and programme decisions.
