I have been married since 2011 and am now a mother of three wonderful children.

I value respectful and honest communication in both my professional and private life and I try to put this into practice every day.

In the case of patients, I am particularly concerned with the clarification and accurate communication of medical information because I believe that only those who feel well informed can be treated in a relaxed and calm manner.

In addition to my professional work as a doctor, I love to travel. In 2018 I spent a year exploring the four corners of the world with my then 3-year-old daughter and husband.
