Profile

I am a UK-based reproductive, maternal and child health specialist with over 20 years of implementing and managing health projects in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. I have a medical background as I have earned a degree in Midwifery at the University of Trieste in Italy. In 2009, I have earned a Master in Public Health at the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp and prior to that, a Master in Humanitarian Assistance in Rome. Recently, I participated at a post-graduate in International Health Consultancy at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.

I have significant experience in managing, implementing and monitoring reproductive, maternal and child health programs. As consultant, I took part at different evaluations for USAID, IDB, and DIFD.

I am a native Italian speaker and I am fluent in French and Spanish.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ interests

“Inclusion of fertility care into the reproductive health policy and practice in The Gambiaâ€

My research interests are related to infertility services’ provision in developing countries. I believe that with both my experience in low-resource countries and my background in reproductive health, I could contribute to this, not so researched, public health matter.
