I was drawn to medicine by an inner conviction early in life. In medical school, I was already assisting in surgeries and presenting research at international conferences in Ireland and Bulgaria, where I was introduced to evidence-based medicine. In Dublin, I was the only student among speakers, which felt challenging but confirmed my direction. During residency at the MSU Medical Center, I treated women with both gynecologic and oncogynecologic conditions. This led me to complete advanced training in oncology at Botkin Hospital and to pursue a Ph.D. focused on HPV-associated epigenetic changes—specifically, how DNA methylation can predict the course of HPV infection. Scientific reading and critical analysis have been part of my routine for over a decade. I believe that research must inform clinical care and that international dialogue—through conferences and collaboration—is key to advancing women's health. Today, I continue to integrate research, clinical experience, and personalized care, working within the framework of evidence-based, patient-centered medicine
