London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

Educational/professional background

I am a pharmacist with two years of experience working alongside the executive team of EPSA- European Pharmaceutical Students' Association and seven years of service in community pharmacies in Italy where I developed abilities for productive teamwork and interpersonal skills for working with other team members and medical personnel, analytical skills for identifying health concerns in patients and computer skills for recording information and managing health-related.

Research interests or career goals

I aim to contribute, with my professional experience and abilities, to projects in low-middle-income countries focused especially on mental health, violence and child protection. I am very interested in Health Promotion and I plan to create new prevention programmes or to contribute to the development of existing ones at the national and international level. 

Why I chose LSHTM/my programme

The LSHTM is a pillar for Public Health education and I had no doubts to choose it for my studies as the high quality of its courses, teachers and research is a solid reality. Furthermore, the Distance Learning solution allows students to follow the course with flexibility handling in parallel other commissions and mostly the job.
