Over the last ten years, since the completion of my degree, I have pursued the following professions: Natural Sciences’ Teacher for the Ministry of Education.

With these diversity of professional activities I was able to put into practice what I learned and acquire new, not only professional, but personal skills. Throughout my professional career I have been continuously updating my knowledge, namely in supporting the manufacture and quality control of biological products and in the field of scientific research and innovation. I learned to communicate, in a clear and precise way, my knowledge and conclusions to different audiences. These skills are essential to an Applied Microbiology Master.
