Increasingly complex working structures are hampering more and more people in pursuing their real passion. Questions abound, such as: How do I fit into the system? How can I follow a career in research and stay true to myself?

Personally, coaching enabled me to concentrate on the challenges and tasks I enjoy, and which matter most to me. It gave me the time and freedom to pursue what I truly love.

I would now like to empower my clients to do the same, while enhancing their professionalism. I offer support to rediscover their passion for their subject too.

One crucial goal for me as co-founder is that Scienza adds a diversity of perspectives and promotes equal opportunities within the ‘academic system’.
