I recently obtained my Bachelor degree from the Maastricht Science Programme at Maastricht University. There, I completed my thesis internship in the neurophysiology department at Maastricht University Medical Center, where I researched preoperative spectral and functional connectivity bio-markers for postoperative delirium following carotid endarterectomy. I am now pursuing a Master degree in Biomedical Sciences, specializing in Neuroscience. I envision myself working in the research industry, especially in the neuropharmacology and molecular biology fields. During my bachelor I had a few student jobs that provided me with organization, problem solving, teamwork, and communication skills that will definitely benefit in my future career. Beside my capacity to work with others, I especially value my independence, which i built over the years as i moved away from home in Italy to pursue my studies in the Netherlands and in Belgium.
