Giuseppina Weiss

My name is Giuseppina. My friends call me Giusy. I was born in Rwanda, my mother is African and my father is Italian…As I was saying, I was born and I grew up, till my teens, in the heart of Africa which is still a part of my heart. When I was twelve I moved to Fiera di Primiero, my father’s native town, with my mother and my sister.

I’ve been working as a dental assistant in Clinica Feltre of Dr. Andersson for 10 years. It’s definitely true that time flies without you noticing it, but I feel still young!

Dental Assistant may seem an easy task, but, believe me, it isn’t, because our work involves much more than simply assisting the dentist: we have to listen to the patient, considering that not all people express their “fear of dentists” in words. That’s why we have to pay much attention to their body language, observe any slightest eye and face movement to detect patients’ distress and intervene appropriately…I believed that once I had completed my studies, I had fulfilled all my duties, but it’s a different story!

I love travelling, I love meeting other cultures and other people. In a word, I love getting to know the world, a passion my parents handed down to me ever since they used to take me with them on their travels.

I like going out with my friends and reading in the evening (when I don’t fall asleep…) as well as walking, swimming, dancing. Ivery much love animals too.

My colleagues say I’m very keen on shopping, in particular on boots and ankle boots: it’s quite a quality, typical of us, girls!

I’m a kind person, at least that’s what my nephews say about me, I’m nice and agreeable, even though sometimes I tell them off. I’m always eager to play with them as if I were a friend, the one who can never say no: I’ve remained still a child.
