Margareta

Hi everyone, I’m Margareta Calabrese, from Koeln, Germany.
I did my Bachelor in Psychology in Italy at the University of Bologna. The third year of my Bachelor I moved to Spain and I studied two semesters at the University of Valencia.
After one year I didn't want to go back to Italy so I decided to stay a bit more in Valencia and to make my internship in a communication school specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of children who have a disorder of the autistic spectrum. After the internship I collaborated in the preparation of a new project in the communication school: Pet-therapy with autistic children. My Bachelor thesis was about this project.
Looking for a Master programme in Neuropsychology I found the great Master programme in Brain and Cognitive Sciences and I applied for the Cognitive Neuroscience track. I wanted to do this Master because it represents the more scientific part of Psychology. Basically my background is quite different from what we are doing in the Master, even though I chose the more neurological direction within my bachelor degree. I'm fascinated by the complexity of the brain and I want to know a lot more about its mechanisms, how it works and what it does to make us what we are.
Here I am now in Amsterdam. I don't know yet where to do my internship, but I'm interested in Psychopathology and I would like to do some research about Schizofrenia, Autism or something else in the pathology domain.
I don't really like the fact that I have to present myself in this formal way, but what we don't do for the university! If someone is interested you know where to find me, in the university of course...aaa, if someone know something about electricity problems not in the brain but in a very old van please let me know!!!
