Research

My academic journey has evolved around historical research focussed on early modern Italy. In 2023, I completed my BA in History at the University of Amsterdam, including a minor in Italian and participation in the honours program. I continued my academic training in the Renaissance track of the AMRS research Master at Utrecht University. During this program, I contributed as an intern to the project Correspondence of Christofforo Suriano (1616-1623) at the Huygens Institute, where I worked on the missives of Ambassador Extraordinaire Trevisano.

I have experience in archival research, palaeography, digital humanities tools such as Transkribus and Nodegoat, and am proficient in reading Dutch, English, French, German, and Italian documents and literature.
