“Knowledge always gives us the power to understand the world.”

With this mindset, I completed my medical studies at Sapienza University of Rome in 2006, graduating with a score of 106/110 and having been awarded five scholarships by the Italian state. In 2016, I obtained my specialization in General Surgery, accredited by the Greek state.

At the same time, my deep interest in breast pathology led me to pursue further specialization. I was awarded the European FEBS qualification in Breast Surgery by the UEMS, following formal examinations, and I also completed postgraduate studies in Breast Cancer Pathology at the University of Ulm, Germany, earning the Certificate of Competence in Breast Cancer (CCBC) with a grade of Good.

This ongoing journey of understanding and dedication to breast disease subsequently took me abroad as a fellow of the European School of Oncology, where I received advanced training in breast surgery and oncoplastic techniques. From 2020 to 2021, I trained for approximately one year in Dublin, Ireland, at St. Vincent’s University Hospital, gaining hands-on experience in a high-volume academic setting.

This body of knowledge is reflected in my scientific publications (attached), my annual participation as a speaker at multiple medical conferences in Greece, and my role as a member of the Scientific Committee of the Hellenic Society for Breast Imaging and Surgery (EMEIS) at its annual congress. In addition, I have been elected by the general assembly to the Council of the European School of Oncology, where I currently serve as Chair of the Working Group on Education.
