CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I studied psychology at University planning to become a counselor / therapist. Yet having worked at a mental hospital as an art therapist with schizophrenic clients, I came to realize I was not mature enough to keep it going on yet and decided to give it a try when I get my mental stronger later in my life. Without any doubt I am still interested in psychology and anthropology, so now I work as a market researcher to explore consumers' mind and behavior all over the world and I love it so much. I would love to keep challenging in this industry for at least a coming decade.
I have worked in Italy as a member of WWOOF, an volunteer organization of organic farms in 2 years ago and made a good memory.
