Classe 1988, sono nata in un caldo giovedì di agosto in Brera, uno dei quartieri più belli della mia città. Dalla passione (divenuta laurea) per le lingue straniere all'attività di blogger e giornalista freelance, il passo per me è stato molto breve. Oggi mi occupo di comunicazione, ma scrivere di Milano è scrivere delle proprie origini.
