Summary

I worked in microbiology from 2003 to 2017, then I moved to the United States and I worked remotely as a Scientific Advisor for a company that import and export chemical products. In 2019 I moved to Europe and since then I have completely changed my area of expertise. Due to so many changes, I found in the digital world the opportunity to work from home, learn a lot, and be in constant development. I am currently looking for a new job opportunity in the pharmaceutical field. Among my skills are adaptability, good humor, dynamism, responsibility, dedication to work, and good interpersonal relationships.
