Medical doctor specialized in Audiology and Phoniatrics, PhD student in Neuroscience.

I graduated from the faculty of Medicine and Surgery at the University of Turin in 2012. In addition I completed school of specialization in Audiology and Phoniatrics at University of Milan in 2017 .

My professional focus lies in the comprehensive management of ENTdisorders, with a strong clinical and surgical specialization in Laryngology. I have dedicated my career to the study and treatment ofvocal cord pathologies, with particular emphasis on clinical and artisticvocology and advanced phonosurgical techniques.

I have refined and mastered an advanced endoscopic approach thatenables the treatment of a wide spectrum of laryngeal pathologies under local anesthesia with sedation. This technique utilizes both coldinstruments and laser technology, is guided by intraoperative stroboscopic assessment, and is performed without the need for hospitalization — offering a minimally invasive yet highly effective solution for both professional voice users and general patients.
