Εργάστηκε σε τμήμα οξέων, εφημερίες, ξενώνες και σε εξωτερικά ιατρεία. Υπήρξε συντονιστής σε διεπιστημονικές και θεραπευτικές ομάδες με ευθύνη στον εξατομικευμένο σχεδιασμό του θεραπευτικού προγράμματος και σε στενή συνεργασία με κοινωνικούς φορείς. Στο 18-ΑΝΩ, απέκτησε σημαντική εμπειρία στο κομμάτι των εξαρτήσεων όπου και εκεί ήμουν συντονιστής σε ομάδες. Παρακολούθησε πληθώρα σεμιναρίων και συμμετείχε σε συνέδρια με αναρτημένες ανακοινώσεις και συνεχίζει να εξελίσσεται.
