A few words about myself

I was born and raised in a religious moshav in the Galilee. After completing my national service, I began studying nursing in Haifa (Rambam hospital) and received my registered nurse certificate in 1986.

In 2007, I completed my BA in nursing summa cum laude from Tel Aviv University. I worked as a nurse for many years in a variety of areas: ICU, CICU, NICU, family health center, school nurse, community primary care clinic and autistic institution, among others.

Additional formal studies

I enjoy learning and have taken a variety of courses over the years, such as courses in life sciences at the Open University, urgent care for preemies, neonates, babies and children as well in courses in some domains of alternative medicine as well as workshops in clinical trials and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of pharmaceuticals, to name a few.
