Meet Rinaldo from France

He is a world renowned chemist and researcher. On his days off, he enjoys visiting caves to study their profound history and chemistry. He was born and raised in Italy. After he obtained his PhD, he settled in the United States and later became a naturalized American citizen. He spent ten years of his life as a professor at the University of Maryland. He said, “While, I have spent my life devoted to teaching and research one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done is becoming a tenured professor at a college here in the United States. It is one of my proudest achievements.” He said the way the he realized that dream was by always believing in himself. “You are what you think. Believe and you shall achieve. I welcome challenges as they promote growth. Failure is not failure. It’s an opportunity to learn what does not work and make adjustments to find the solution to what does.” These days, Rinaldo lives in the south of France, just moments from the Pyrenees Mountains. He travels all over the world giving lectures about his research to some of the most prestigious colleges in the world. The one thing he wants to tell the world is, “It is your life and your story. The best way to live it is to follow your heart and dream big. If you have a desire and passion in your soul follow it. Nurture it. You hold the pen. Don’t allow someone else to write your story.” Thank you so much for visiting
