Hi. My name is Michele Wang-Pizzera.
Education and practical experience
I studied at the ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences and completed a Bachelor’s (2009 – 2012) and Master’s (2020 – 2022) in Social Work.
My practical experience as a social worker includes working in open child and youth work, in residential care with teenagers, in socio-pedagogical educational offers and in counseling students.
Current employment
I am currently working as a research associate at the Department of Social Work at the ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences. My work includes the acquisition and consulting of students, strategic and operational tasks in relation to the curriculum and everyday student life, teaching in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs, as well as participation in research projects.
Dissertation
In 2024, I started my doctorate at the University of Fribourg. It is a self-organized dissertation project, i.e. I am not involved in any existing research project, but am conducting the doctorate independently and in addition to my professional employment. At the moment I am in the process of collecting data. I plan to complete my doctorate in 2027.
