With over 15 years of experience as a registered dental hygienist and a transformative role as a Swiss Dental Academy Trainer, I am dedicated to advancing patient care and clinician education in dental hygiene. My work with EMS and Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) has reignited my passion for educating others and deepened my commitment to clinical excellence. I am driven by a love for continuous learning and strive to inspire fellow clinicians while advocating for innovative approaches to dental care.

Mi sono laureata in Igiene dentale nel 2008 a Trieste. Da quel momento la passione per il lavoro mi ha portato a frequentare costantemente corsi di aggiornamento specifici, in particolare dedicati alle nuove tecnologie di cui sono appassionata. Nel 2021 ho partecipato al Corso di Perfezionamento in Leadership in medicina presso l’Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Roma. Lavoro in diversi studi odontoiatrici di Trieste con passione ed estrema cura per i pazienti.

Credo fortemente nella GBT come il miglior approccio nella terapia parodontale non chirurgica.

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.
