About me

I am a paediatrician with an MSc in Global Health. I worked clinically in Argentina for nine years, subspecialising in developmental paediatrics. I graduated from the Master's Programme in Global Health at KI in 2020. In July 2020, I became program assistant for the Master's Programme in Public Health Sciences and the Master's Programme in Global Health. In February 2023 I registered as a PhD student at the Department of Global Public Health. My project focuses on co-designing a stillbirth care package in Malawi involving bereaved mothers and midwives.
