About Me

I’m a medical doctor specializing in Occupational Medicine, with over a decade of experience across both public and private sectors in Greece and Cyprus. My academic journey includes a Medical Degree from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, multiple postgraduate degrees in Public Health and Occupational Risk Assessment, and a PhD candidacy focused on predictive factors in lung cancer. My training has also included advanced education in molecular medicine and toxicology at Ruhr University in Germany.

Professionally, I’ve served as the Scientific Director of Occupational Health Services in diagnostic centers, held key roles in public health initiatives, and have collaborated with a broad range of industries — from energy and construction to banking and telecoms. I currently lead occupational health services at ACT MEDICAL LTD in Cyprus.

I believe that workplace medicine should not only protect but also empower. Through my roles as a lecturer, evaluator, and ISO auditor, I aim to bridge science with practical action, always striving to create safer and healthier work environments that prioritize prevention, education, and well-being.
