Biography

I am a Registered Nurse (RN, MSc) with 5 years of advanced clinical experience in critical care settings at G. Papanikolaou General Hospital in Thessaloniki, Greece. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing from the International Hellenic University (IHU) and a Master of Science (MSc) in "Specialization in Intensive Care Nursing" from the School of Medicine at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH). My clinical background includes 2 years in a General ICU and 3 years in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU), where I manage acute cardiac emergencies and post-procedural care. I am highly proficient in operating continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT/dialysis filters) across both environments. Additionally, I serve as a Clinical Instructor within my department, mentoring nursing students during their clinical rotations and orienting newly hired nursing staff. Committed to continuous professional development, I regularly participate in specialized seminars and certification courses focusing on emergency care and infectious disease management. My professional mission is to deliver safe, high-quality, and compassionate care to critically ill patients while actively contributing to the clinical education and development of the nursing workforce.
