I studied chemistry at University La Sapienza of Rome and then I moved to Sheffield to do my PhD studies in the group of Prof Chris Hunter. When the group moved to Cambridge in 2014, I stayed in as a post doc and then as a lab manager, which is my current position. During my time as a student I have experienced first hand how stressful a PhD can be and as a senior member of the group I have often supported students and researchers during difficult moments of their studies. I am a qualified mental health first aider and I understand how crucial it is to have someone to talk. I would be more than happy to listen to anything that is on your mind and help you take that big load off your shoulders.
