I first arrived in the UK as a trainee in 2016, for what I thought it would have been a short experience abroad. 9 years later, I leave the country as an experienced senior researcher and consultant hepatologist! It's been a hell of a journey but I have enjoyed all of it, truly!

2024 was a very special year for me, it brought me many surprises and a lot of personal and professional satisfaction. I became a mother, a consultant in the NHS, and a British citizen. I am extremely grateful! 2025 looks very promising already... Stay tuned 🔝
