My long academic background includes undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering, a Master’s in Economics and Management and a PhD in Finance. After completing my studies, I moved to the Netherlands, where I taught finance at the University of Utrecht for two years. When returning to Athens for personal reasons, right after Greece was hit by the financial crisis, I worked for the Ministry of Finance as an advisor, wishing to be part of Greece’s effort to reignite the engine of economic growth.
It is only after my personal health got challenged – following years of being stressed, making bad food choices and not sleeping well – that I turned to Functional Medicine. Being intrigued by how it transformed my life and passionate for learning new things, I decided to start another long academic path into the science of Nutrition and Functional Medicine.
Starting off with little more than a basic knowledge of life sciences and equipped only with good learning and research skills, my learning journey in Nutritional Therapy and Functional Medicine has been a long one and has required a lot of hard work.
With a Master’s in Personalised Nutrition, clinical training in Nutritional Therapy and further qualifications as Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, I am committed to providing evidence-based and personalized nutritional recommendations.
