MATTIA BIANCHI - MSC TEACHER OF THE YEAR!
How does it feel to have won this award, what is your first reaction?
It feels special. It’s my first time, so I am really savoring this moment.
My reaction is a mix of gratitude, pride, excitement and motivation to do better. Year after year, I have been learning how to help others learn, and now I am happy with what I can offer to students, and I am happy that students appreciate it.
What are your hobbies?
Skiing, riding my motorcycle, roadtripping around Europe, trying new restaurants... but honestly, my favorite is watching Juventus playing football
What inspires you?
People inspire me. Not necessarily famous, although I like reading biographies and watching documentaries.
Meeting or listening to stories of disadvantaged individuals who managed to find fulfillment and happiness is a great source of inspiration to me.
If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you be and why?
A camel! Maybe not the quickest animal, but with a steady pace, enduring long periods of effort, I can reach the target I set myself...most of the times.
