Your thesis focused on one of ASA's cornerstone therapies.
My thesis was based on the simulation, experimental, and clinical analysis of the thermal effects induced by MLS® in both human and veterinary settings. A topic that allowed me to gain a close understanding of this therapeutic solution, thanks to the support and constant presence of the two tutors who worked alongside me in the human and vet divisions. Thanks to them, I was able to truly immerse myself in the ASA world, receiving a comprehensive and structured overview.
During the two and a half months of the internship, what impression did you form of ASA?
Besides being a company undergoing profound change, ASA is first and foremost a family, where cohesion exists, as does a willingness to help. ASA is a company that “listens” and offers concrete growth opportunities to those willing to get involved and commit. It is a company where the human element is strong, as is the attention to valorising the ideas and proposals that are put forward. For all these reasons, and many more, at the end of my internship, I asked if there was an opportunity to stay…
...what were the “other reasons” that led you to want to start your career at ASA?
In no particular order: the company's product, the way ASA works, and above all, the team. ASA was—and is—a “field school”, where you feel part of a “larger” project and where everyone is called upon to contribute, regardless of age or experience.
You're currently part of the “Quality” division: do you feel it's a good fit for you?
I'm truly learning a lot in this specific area and couldn't have asked for a better place to learn about the dynamics that define the company. However, I'm hungry to learn, and since the company is evolving, I hope to explore other contexts in the future. There's much to do and build: a great incentive for those, like me, who are eager to challenge themselves and aren't afraid of change. ASA invests in me every day, and I in it. Trust, when mutual, is a driver of mutual growth.
If ASA, as you say, gave you the opportunity to begin building your professional career, also making you independent in managing your activity, what do you think Francesca has brought to the company with her arrival?
A fresh perspective and a “different” vision, the result of both my recent studies and my desire to “get things done”.
