Chiara collaborated on research projects in the field of psychology and co-authored scientific articles on emotion regulation, psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic, and psychological-related issues in the context of medicalized infertility. In 2023, she obtained the license to join the national register of Italian Psychologists.
