What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth in public health research and offers opportunities to impact community health positively.

I am a passionate public health professional currently pursuing my Master of Science in Public Health at Apollon University of Applied Sciences. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in health policy, epidemiology, and environmental health, complemented by practical experience in laboratory settings. I thrive in environments where I can apply my knowledge to real-world challenges, particularly in pandemic preparedness and health emergencies.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience as a Technical Assistant at the Deutsches Zentrum für neurodegenerative Erkrankungen, where I honed my skills in various laboratory techniques, including Western blotting and PCR. My role as a Research Assistant at the University Hospital Tübingen allowed me to engage in cutting-edge research, focusing on gene therapeutics and virus-specific T cell production. I am committed to advancing public health through rigorous research and community engagement.
