I was born and raised in a small town in Greece, Kozani. I received my medical degree from the School of Medicine- Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in Greece and graduated as a valedictorian. After moving to the United States in 2008, I worked as a research associate at the Center of Interventional Vascular Therapy at Columbia University Medical Center in New York. I completed my residency in internal medicine at Drexel College of Medicine/ Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia and my cardiovascular fellowship at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. During my fellowship, I completed advanced training in echocardiography and concurrently enrolled in the Master of Science in Clinical and Translational Research at the School of Public Health, Brown University. I am board-certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, echocardiography, nuclear cardiology and peripheral vascular imaging.
I joined the Cardiovascular Institute at Rhode Island and Miriam Hospitals on August 2016 as a noninvasive cardiologist and contribute to both inpatient and outpatient cardiac services. I am an Assistant Professor of medicine at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and I am actively involved in the teaching of fellows, residents and medical students. I received the Dean’s Excellence in Teaching Award in 2017. My research focuses on cardiac imaging and novel techniques for treatment of valvular heart disease (transcatheter aortic valve replacement and mitral clip). My scientific work has been published in highly respected cardiology journals. I am a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology and I have been invited as an author in textbook chapters and educational material.
