I was born and raised in Greece. I went to university and medical school at The University of Crete, which is the largest island of Greece. I am married and have two children.
I was a track and field athlete and I endured many injuries and this was one of the reasons I decided to pursue this field.
In 2015, I completed my residency in orthopaedics and traumatology in University Hospital of Heraklion Crete. Since 2017 I am a staff member of University Hospital.
All the knowledge and experience I gain doing the fellowship I hope to bring it back and use it in my workplace in Greece.
