I am a medical doctor with significant experience in the humanitarian field, specifically amidst the migration crisis along the central Mediterranean route. I've had the privilege of serving as both a Search And Rescue medic and as a doctor on quarantine ferries operated by the Italian charter of the Red Cross.

I graduated from the Bari English Medical Course, where I defended a thesis in Emergency Surgery. Furthering my education, I pursued a master’s degree in European Master in Disaster Medicine, focusing on the use of Key Performance Indicators in the response protocols in mass casualty incidents within the pre-Hospital setting.

Currently, as a PhD candidate, my research endeavors delve into the study of trauma systems implemented by civilian and humanitarian actors in armed conflicts. This passion of mine, leads me to closely follow the activities of the major humanitarian actors of the field, including the WHO Emergency Medical Teams initiative, which perfectly aligns with my aspirations to become a trauma and emergency surgeon in conflict settings.
