I am an optometrist and I also worked as volunteer in the London MSF office for almost two years in different roles. I am passionate about human rights, social justice and accessible healthcare around the world. I also believe that silence can kill, so those who have the opportunity should speak for those that cannot.
I am very pleased to be on this mission as a cultural mediator, working initially with people living in the refugee camps in Idomeni. Cultural mediators know the language and culture of a community MSF is working with, and can help staff understand what patients need.
I know my time in Greece will be a challenging one, but it's a challenge I am very much looking forward to.
