📍 Prato, Florence - Italy
I am an eclectic person with a curious mind and a passion for exploration, both geographically and intellectually. With an MSc in Biomedical Engineering, I specialize in the design and development of medical devices, with a strong focus on electrophysiology, cardiology, and biomedical products. Whether I'm analyzing complex biomedical systems or discovering new cultures through travel, I bring creativity, adaptability, and a deep commitment to innovation in healthcare technology.
Professional Experience
Field Technical Engineer EP Division 🫀 for Tuscany Region
As a Field Technical Engineer in Abbott's Electrophysiology division, my primary responsibility is to provide clinical and technical support during cardiac electrophysiology procedures, such as electroanatomic mapping and catheter ablation. I'm specialised in the analysis of complex atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. I contribute to their precise diagnosis to help deliver targeted and highly effective catheter ablation treatments.
