In 2013 she finished the shooting of the feature film Miriam - Il Diario (Come Sposare un Artista), directed by Monica Castiglioni, in which she played the lead character.[3] In 2013 she also played the lead in the feature film The Rule of Lead (La Regola del Piombo) by Giacomo Arrigoni,[4][5] that won several international awards.

In 2014 she plays one of the three leads in the web-series Sguinzagliate, directed by di Roberto Burchielli.[6] In 2015 she landed a small role in the TV series River, directed by Tim Fywell for BBC. She then went back to comedy with the role of Elena in the sketch comedy Love Snack, directed by Elia Castangia in 2017.[7]

With her theatre company "PaT - Passi Teatrali" she co-produced the feature Luci Spente, adapted from an original play performed by the company itself, that won the Gold Remi Award for "Animation Film - Any Technique" at the 2016 WorldFest Houston.[8][9]
