About Me
After completing my doctorate in neurobiology at the University of Lausanne and pursuing a short academic career in research, I then wished to re-orientate my career in a way that would allow me to continue to serve the medical and life sciences but in a more hands-on way, outside of the laboratory.
I therefore worked for over two years as congress manager and medical association administrator with Symporg (www.symporg.ch), a Professional Congress Organizer (PCO) company based in Geneva. This company is highly specialized in the organization of medical and scientific congresses in Switzerland, Europe and overseas. Over this period, I was responsible or shared the responsibility of the organization of events ranging from 50 to approximately 2500 participants.
Since then, and after completing an intensive course in business management and online communication I am now seeking a new chalenge.
