I'm an MD who fell for infectious diseases back in 2017 during an eye-opening internship in Manaus, right in the heart of the Amazon. After a thesis on KPC epidemiology and treatment, my passion was put to the test during the tough COVID times in Monza, my hometown, and continued through my residency in Milan, where I discovered my niche: fighting orthopedic infections. Now, I'm soaking up knowledge at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester with a one-year research fellowship in OrthoID, trying to build a diagnostic framework for Native Vertebral Osteomyelitis. Inside and outside the hospital, I stand strong for LGBTQ+ rights and advocate for cultural humility.
