Summary
As a global citizen who has lived in 5 different countries throughout the course of my life (Greece, Romania, Egypt, Switzerland and England), whilst also being bilingual (English mother tongue); flexibility, perseverance and analytical skills are key attributes to my lifestyle. Accompanying these skills and multiple certification, my 12-month internship completions alongside Boehringer Ingelheim pharmaceuticals has highlighted my intrapreneurship, bioprocess, dedication and problem solving skills. As a final year BMC student my leadership and strategic planning skills don't stop with my internship, certifications or dissertation, as I am also a very enthusiastic sports man with many recognised achievements including sponsorships.
