As child and as a young girl, it was hard for me to say what my "dream", in terms of future work. I liked a lot of different things and I was good in different subjects: it was difficult to make a decision! I was interested in literature, art, music but I liked also the sciences, they made me want to know more, to deepen, to study.

Only during college, I realized it was "studying" the underlying theme. Even now, often it surprises me, that my actual work is to do what I wanted.

Almost "magically", sometimes I think, I got to make this work: do research and study the theme that was my "problem" that is the choice in training and work, and the intertwining of work and rest of life in the promotion of the psychological well-being.

But growing up, study was not enough: for this reason, in my areas of research I always look for a way to identify applications, in terms of actions to promote awareness of the institutions with respect to the results of research, but also projects aimed at influencing policy and practices in organizations, and, at last, experimentations to test good practice.
