Veterinarian working in the field of animal pathology and public health

In 2021 I graduated in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Parma, where I will also complete the specialization School in Animal Health this November. My initial interests in infectious diseases and small animal medicine have led me to diverse roles over the past two years, including working in small animal clinics, assisting official veterinarians, and participating in a pig welfare research project. Last year, I decided to focus on infectious disease control, surveillance, and diagnostics, with a particular interest in epidemiology and data analysis. I applied for a scholarship at the Istituto Zooprofilattico delle Venezie to collaborate with their epidemiology department. I was assigned to the diagnostic laboratory in Verona, a region with a high concentration of turkey and chicken farms, providing me with valuable experience in diagnosing diseases in poultry and other farm animals, and improving my understanding of livestock industry dynamics through collaboration with industry experts and veterinarians. I am interested in opportunities focusing on the fields of infectious disease epidemiology and diagnostics.

After graduating from a linguistic high school, I enrolled in veterinary medicine at the University of Parma where I obtained my graduation and qualification in 2021. The following year I started a post-graduate specialization School in animal health, animal husbandry and livestock sciences, from which I will graduate in 2024. Work experiences: - freelance veterinarian in different small animal clinics (dogs, cats and rabbits) in Italy; - specializing intern at official veterinary services (animal infectious diseases prophylaxis and control, animal welfare and drug use control, ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection at the slaughter house); - winner of a research scholarship focused on assessing swine welfare by scoring carcass lesions at the local slaughterhouse; - currently: veterinarian at an Italian public health institute (IZSVe), working in animal disease diagnostic (pathology, bacteriology and parassitology).

I speak English fluently and have a good knowledge of French and Spanish. I'm also interested in learning German.
