Why did you choose to study at UEL?
I chose the University of East London because, until 2020, there was no biomedical science programme at any university in my home country.

What is your one special memory of your time at UEL?
My most special moment at the University of East London was achieving a grade of ninety-two out of one hundred in my Human Anatomy and Physiology theory exam.

What have you done since graduating from UEL?
After completing my studies at the University of East London, I went to Oxford Brookes University to complete my MSc in medical genetics and genomics.

What is your current job role? And what does it involve?
I am a biomedical scientist in Athens working in a biopathology laboratory within the Biochemical department.

How did UEL help you get to where you are now?
The highly qualified teachers imparted a wealth of knowledge and professional skills.

What advice would you give your younger self?
I would tell myself to make my dreams come true and set goals to achieve them.

What advice would you give to UEL current students preparing to graduate?
I would tell them to keep calm, give their best in their final exams and always strive for excellence.

Tell us something about yourself that most people don’t know:
I was so focused on completing my degree that I was incredibly stressed leading to me suffering with a loss of hair density and got black spots on my body!

If you were to do it all again, would you still choose UEL?
I would choose the University of East London every time because my time at UEL was a fantastic life experience!
