What motivated your interest in the field of science management?
The opportunity to combine rigorous research with the ability to organize and energize a unique and integrated knowledge ecosystem, contributing to the enhancement of national science and ensuring that information reaches those who need it.
The biggest myth about science management that you'd like to debunk:
The idea that it's a purely bureaucratic job, detached from the reality of research, is misleading. On the contrary, managing science requires strategic vision, innovation, and, above all, the empathy necessary to understand the real needs of those who do science.
An achievement you are proud of in your professional career:
Having completed my master's and doctoral degrees and built a professional career that has led me to live and work in three countries, this academic background, combined with cultural experiences in different countries, has shaped my worldview and understanding of science.
A motto for your daily work:
Knowledge only has value when it is shared.
Something you do at work that people wouldn't imagine:
Much of my work involves delving into the technical aspects. On a daily basis, I use tools such as SQL, VS Code, GitHub, and SoapUI to analyze, test, and optimize the services that support science management.
Your “secret tool”:
NotebookLM
Music or playlist to help you stay focused while working:
Bossa Nova and instrumental Jazz.
If you had a superpower:
To speak and understand all the languages of the world, because communication is the key to bringing people, cultures, and ideas closer together.
Something you'd like to tell your younger self at the start of your career, if you could go back in time:
Trust the process and learn from everyone you meet along the way. Every experience and every contact will contribute to your growth, even when you don't yet realize how.
A piece of advice for anyone wanting to pursue a career in science management:
Invest in digital literacy and data tools, but never stop building bridges. In science management, technology is important, but collaboration and people are what make the difference.
