I’m a journalist, editor and content creator specialised in sustainable development and human rights, former Opinion Editor at The Japan Times and former Editor-in-Chief of sustainability news website LifeGate.com. Currently based in Milan, I lived in Tokyo from 2020 to 2025.

I hold an MPhil in Development Studies from the University of Cambridge and a BA in Politics from the School of Oriental and African Studies in London.

I commission, edit and write articles, appear in and produce videos, host podcasts and write LifeGate’s weekly newsletter. I cover underreported stories from Europe and Asia, including, recently, about the impact of the natural gas industry on communities in the US and Australia, the growth of carbon capture and storage in Southeast Asia, and biodiversity loss in rural Japan.

I’m keen to continue investigating the nexus of global politics and sustainability, working with leading international media to shed light on social, economic and political shifts ranging from the local to the global.

I’m half Italian, half British, of Malaysian descent. I’ve lived in five countries, am bilingual in English and Italian, speak Spanish fluently and am conversant in Japanese. Most of all, I love exploring diversity in all its forms.
