I am a PhD candidate in the Anthropology of Health, Care and the Body programme group. My research explores the intersections of veterinary care, digital surveillance, trust, and value-making practices in Italian livestock farming. I am particularly interested in how digital surveillance tools reshape on-farm relations through practice, and what forms of care or 'good behaviour' emerge in the negotiations and resistances of those transformations. Embedded within the ERC-funded VetValues project, my work investigates how veterinarians mediate between different and often conflicting values—such as animal welfare, economic productivity, public health, and sustainability—in contemporary animal agriculture.
With a background in Environmental Humanities and Cultural Anthropology, my previous research examined the capitalization of microbiomic data within academic science and the wellness industry, exploring how microbial life challenges traditional notions of the human. My broader interests lie at the intersection of biopolitics, valuation studies, veterinary anthropology, and environmental governance, particularly in relation to food production systems and sustainable futures.
