I had to make up my mind, despite I wasn’t quiet sure to do it, to go “online”, just because I never liked telling and disclosing my private and professional life to the public, with the relative successes and goals achieved.
I’m a discreet person who is not fond of celebrations but as we all know, it is not possible to live in the “old way” today. The world travels online.
My scientific studies began in Italy, in my home town, Monza, and during my free time at high school, I was having fun with my friends playing tennis, soccer and skiing.
Since I had the need to improve my English which was fairly at beginner’s level, I decided to attend the last year of high school in the United States (even if, I won’t hide it, this was the perfect chance back then to finally go to this Country that always triggered my curiosity and charmed me…), and I graduated at Utica High School – Michigan – USA.
After that year spent in Michigan, I came back to Italy filled with new passions, such as swimming, travelling, and charmed by this Country, so that I almost decided to register at the faculty of Medicine in the United States, the career that I decided to undertake. At the end, the love for the dear ones prevailed, and leaving my family, friends and city wasn’t easy, so once I returned home and passed the admission test at the faculty in Milan, I began my studies at the Public University (Università Statale) where I obtained a degree in 2001 and later on, after discovering my fondness for surgery, I specialized in Odonto-stomatology at the University of Milan-Bicocca.
Passion…this is the first word of my personal vocabulary because anything I ever undertook and followed, I did it with great enthusiasm, great passion, especially my job of Odontologist.
I love learning new things, besides my work, I love being with people, listening to their needs, having fun and also spend time with my family and doing sports in my free time.
I almost always set goals in my life and I always pursued them with grit and fair sacrifices, and I hope not to stop here…
<heaven helps those who help themselves> <He who hesitates is lost>, these are only some idioms that my 97-year old aunt, who is in great shape and still very bright, repeats me every day and they had been a great life lesson for me…
My week is obviously full of commitments, between dentist’s offices and hospitals. I wake up between 6 and 7 a.m. every morning and throughout the day, from Monday to Saturday, I look after my beloved profession and I believe that I couldn’t do otherwise. I’m used to be always active and also during my free time, I never rest on the sofa!
I decided not only to be a self-employed professional working in private offices, but thanks to my contract with San Gerardo Hospital in Monza, I have the opportunity to spend time with students and colleagues in order to be always up to date, to face up to them and grow, because I am convinced that my path did not end with the degree, but just started with it.
My website is extremely user-friendly and I decided not to introduce cases that I personally treated successfully, with customer’s satisfaction, since “my presence online” is not intended as advertisement but as a useful instrument, therefore I’m open to possible advices or questions, to which I will be glad to provide answers.
