She has worked extensively with regional governments, coordinating on issues related to EU relations, European funding, Mediterranean regional cooperation, development policy, and migration—key priorities of Italy’s State-Regions Conference. A long-time advocate for youth participation in politics, she rose through the ranks of Forza Italia Giovani, later becoming National Head of the Organisation Sector and Deputy National Secretary of the Young Italians in the European People’s Party. Her commitments extended to European platforms, including service on the Council of Presidents of YEPP.

Elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 2018, she became Forza Italia’s Group Leader in the Defence Committee and contributed to the Parliamentary Inquiry on the death of Giulio Regeni. Since October 2022, she has served as Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
