I got my Master’s degree in Psychology in 2018 at the Università degli Studi of Turin. In 2021 I obtained a Master in Clinical Neuropsychology (SLOP, Milan). Now I’m attending the ASIPSE School (Milan) of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

During my studies I worked at the Neurology 2 Unit at the “Molinette” Hospital of Turin and at the Neurology I of Humanitas Research Hospital (Rozzano, Milan) where I learned how to perform a neuropsychological assessement with patients suffering from movement disorders (in particular Parkinson’s Disease).

During my post-lauream training, I dedicated to neuropsychological evaluations aimed at phenotyping neurodegenerative diseases.

 

Research activity

In 2021 I was employed as freelance worker at the “Carlo Besta” Unit of Neurology 5 – Neuropathology, where I worked as a neuropsychologist in the NeuroTRACK research project, dedicated to the study of the progression of the frontotemporal diseases spectrum.

Since the beginning of this year, I work as a Researcher at the “Carlo Besta” Unit of Neurology 5 – Neuropathology: I deal with cognitive and behavioral evaluations of patients with neurodegenerative disorders and I collaborate with the planning and writing of scientific papers.
