What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in public health.

I am a dedicated biomedical science graduate with a Master's in Global Health, equipped with a robust foundation in scientific writing, research coordination, and regulatory compliance. Currently coordinating EU-funded research in Milan, I’ve worked across academic, clinical, and policy environments, including international collaborations focused on pandemic preparedness and clinical data analysis.

My career has centered on making complex scientific information clear, accurate, and engaging—whether through drafting research proposals, editing manuscripts, publication preparation, or teaching science in IB schools. I bring a sharp eye for detail, strong analytical skills, and a passion for improving health outcomes through evidence-based communication.

Now seeking opportunities in medical writing, I’m especially interested in roles where I can grow under experienced mentorship, contribute to high-impact content, and work at the intersection of science, language, and healthcare.
