Who I Am
Lorenza Oprandi
As a former and experienced Med-Tech and Clinical Research Coordinator, I am familiar with your professional universe. And I still love it.
Like you, I have been “there”, too: I know myself what it feels like to feel out of steps at work! Moreover, I have myself undergone some life and professional crisis.
Driven by a need to be closer to people and help them overcome their difficulties, in 2000 I trained as an adult teacher. Later, in 2008, I graduated as an art-therapist after a 5 years' training path with some enriching internships. I then specialised in a psychotherapy approach and in mental reprogramming techniques.
Since then, I have been accompanying people on their transformation journey, helping them through a both structured and creative self-empowerment method.
Today, I am glad to offer my Healthcare and Life Science fellows a specific, solution-oriented approach which enables, at the same time, to work on the causes of the problem – for more durable results.
