I am the Global Programme Manager at Rare Diseases International, where I oversee the Global Network for Rare Diseases and contribute to projects aimed at improving diagnosis, care, and quality of life for people living with a rare disease and their families. I am a nurse by background, with professional experience in diverse hospital settings, including surgery, transplant, and intensive care units. Before joining RDI, I worked on initiatives to empower patients, support their engagement in care decisions, and address clinical, social, and educational needs. I hold a Master’s in International Healthcare Management, Economics and Policy, as well as an MSc in Nursing.
