Her research explores the intersection of language acquisition and self-reflection, particularly in teaching Italian as a second language. She investigates how metaphors and similes shape learners' linguistic identities and pedagogical practices.

She teaches courses on modern languages, cultures, and disciplinary seminars within doctoral programs, focusing on language sciences and cross-cultural communication.
