What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute healthcare management, research, and programme coordination experience to work improving access, equity, and health outcomes for refugees, migrants, and other vulnerable populations.

I’ve coordinated refugee and migrant support services in Thessaloniki, including at Refugee Day Center Alkyone, Arsis, and the Ecological Movement of Thessaloniki.

My work combines healthcare management, case support, programme coordination, safeguarding, logistics, and collaboration with NGOs, social workers, legal representatives, and multidisciplinary teams. I also spent a decade providing physiotherapy treatment, rehabilitation, assessments, and personalised care planning in clinical settings.

I research health inequalities, healthcare access, health literacy, and quality of life among refugee and migrant populations. For my master’s thesis, I conducted mixed-methods field research with 201 participants in Northern Greece and used SPSS to identify health outcomes and predictors.
