Αποφοίτησα από την Ιατρική Σχολή του Πανεπιστημίου «Victor Babes» της Ρουμανίας και στη συνέχεια ειδικεύτηκα στην Ορθοπαιδική και Τραυματολογία στην Β΄ Ορθοπαιδική Πανεπιστημιακή Κλινική στο Κωνσταντοπούλειο Γενικό Νοσοκομείο Νέας Ιωνίας, όπου απέκτησα σημαντική εμπειρία στη διάγνωση και αντιμετώπιση ευρέος φάσματος Ορθοπαιδικών παθήσεων και τραυματισμών. Κατά τη διάρκεια της εκπαίδευσής μου, εκπαιδεύτηκα επίσης σε εξειδικευμένα τμήματα Παιδοχειρουργικής, Παιδοορθοπαιδικής, Χειρουργικής Χεριού και Μικροχειρουργικής, εμπλουτίζοντας την εμπειρία μου σε σύνθετες παθήσεις και εξειδικευμένες χειρουργικές τεχνικές.

Παράλληλα, συνέχισα την ακαδημαϊκή και επιστημονική μου εκπαίδευση με μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές στη Διεθνή Ιατρική και Διαχείριση Κρίσεων Υγείας, στη Διοίκηση Μονάδων Υγείας, στη Διαχείριση Κρίσεων στον τομέα της Υγείας, καθώς και MBA στη Διοίκηση Υπηρεσιών Υγείας. Ολοκλήρωσα επίσης τη διδακτορική μου διατριβή στην Ιατρική Σχολή Αθηνών, διατηρώντας ενεργή συμμετοχή στην επιστημονική έρευνα, σε συνέδρια και σε δημοσιεύσεις.

Σήμερα υπηρετώ ως Επιστημονικός Συνεργάτης στην Κλινική Ρομποτικής Χειρουργικής Γόνατος και Ισχίου του Metropolitan General Hospital, ενώ έχω υπηρετήσει και ως Επικουρικός Χειρουργός Ορθοπαιδικός στην Πρωτοβάθμια Φροντίδα Υγείας. Το ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον μου εστιάζεται στη χειρουργική γόνατος και ισχίου, στην τραυματολογία και στις σύγχρονες χειρουργικές τεχνικές, με στόχο τη βέλτιστη λειτουργική αποκατάσταση και τη γρήγορη επάνοδο των ασθενών στην καθημερινότητά τους.

Πιστεύω ότι η σχέση εμπιστοσύνης μεταξύ ιατρού και ασθενούς αποτελεί βασικό στοιχείο της θεραπευτικής διαδικασίας. Για τον λόγο αυτό δίνω ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στη σωστή ενημέρωση, στην εξατομικευμένη και ολιστική αντιμετώπιση με σκοπό την επιλογή της καταλληλότερης θεραπείας για κάθε ασθενή.
