Laureata in Igiene Dentale presso l’Università degli Studi di Genova nel 2017, pratico la mia attività professionale a Genova.
Dopo la laurea, per perfezionarmi sempre di più e  prendermi cura dei miei pazienti nel miglior modo possibile, ho frequentato vari corsi di formazione.
Divento GBT Trainer nel 2020, adoro aiutare i colleghi a introdurre questo protocollo nella propria pratica clinica e imparo da ogni studio dove tengo i corsi qualcosa di nuovo.

Mein Studium zur dipl. Dentalhygienikerin HF in Zürich, welches ich 2017 abgeschlossen habe, hat mir gezeigt, wie bedeutend wissenschaftliches Arbeiten in der Zahnmedizin ist. Daher kommt auch mein Interesse evidenzbasiert zu arbeiten, Dinge zu hinterfragen und immer breit zu sein neue Wege zu gehen. Die GBT vereint all das, wonach ich immer gesucht habe. Ich erlebe täglich im Praxisalltag, wie viel orale Prävention bei Patienten wirklich bewirken kann. Daran stetig weiterzuarbeiten und gleichzeitig an diesem Erfolgen beteiligt zu sein ist ein großartiges Gefühl und treibt mich an.

GBT ist der Game-Changer in der Prophylaxe und wir GBT-Trainer sind die Change-Maker. Ich liebe meinen Beruf, die Begegnungen und Begeisterung um GBT! GBT ist mehr als nur ein Behandlungsprotokoll und das Arbeiten mit den neuesten und sanftesten Technologien, Airflowing und PIEZON^® PS. GBT ist (m-)eine Behandlungsphilosophie, Lifestyle und für mich die beste Art eine Zahnreinigung zu bekommen, sowie auch auszuführen. So angenehm wie möglich, für mich als Behandler und so sanft und angenehm wie nur möglich für meine Patienten. Mehr Komfort geht für keine der beiden Seiten. I love GBT and all GBT -Lovers!
