Believe that the pen is mightier than the sword: a humanist by education, a dreamer by inclination and a perfectionist by habit, I always believed in the magical power of words. Having joined Softpedia in 2006 and constantly working on my ninja word-skills, I now have proper confirmation that words can – and do – change the world.
My hobbies include writing and literature (no surprise there), hiking, movies, music and (the occasionally disastrous) culinary experiments. Somehow, they all touch on my job so, if you want, call me the luckiest girl on a four-block area, because I'm always having fun and keeping busy.
If I'm not at work, trust you'll find me at home with a good book, at the movies or hanging out with my closest friends, always trying to absorb new experiences, learn more, be a better person.
You're more than welcome to join me on this amazing ride.
