What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can combine video strategy and conversion copywriting, work cross-functionally with creators, and lead organized, collaborative projects that grow audiences.

I am a multilingual video strategist and conversion copywriter with hands-on experience growing YouTube channels and producing polished video content. I run Silken Story, delivering video editing, thumbnail design and YT strategy for creators with audiences up to 346K subscribers.

I also write conversion-led copy for agencies and luxury hospitality brands through ItaluxCopy, working on projects for clients such as Access Italy and Girolibero. My background in applied linguistics and tourism supports a strong editorial sensibility across languages.

As a project manager and team lead, I managed a team of 45 freelancers curating translations and overseeing copy projects, bringing structure and clear processes to distributed teams. I use tools like DaVinci Resolve Studio, Adobe CC, Frame.io, Notion and Trello to streamline production and feedback.

I’m a collaborative problem-solver who values digital organisation and clear communication; I focus on creating engaging hooks and retaining audience attention across blogs, newsletters, video scripts and social media posts.
