DoB: 03 Aug.1962 in Prizren, Kosovo, Living in Prishtinë, Kosovo.
I am an experienced Clinical Nurse Specialist and University Lecturer with over three
decades of healthcare practice and education, both in Kosovo and international mission
contexts. With a foundational background in nursing (BA-2007) and a Master of Science in
Health Education (2017) from the University of Prishtina, my career has combined clinical
expertise, academic leadership, health promotion, and humanitarian service.
My professional journey began in 1985 at the Regional Hospital “Dr. Daut Mustafa” in
Prizren, where I gained broad experience in inpatient care, patient education, and
diagnostic procedures. From the late 1990’s onward, I became deeply involved in
international humanitarian and development missions. Serving as Health and Safety
Advisor with the International Rescue Committee/IRC, during Kosovo’s post-conflict
reconstruction, I led public health assessments and implemented health, sanitation, and
education improvements for vulnerable communities.
Between 2000 and 2010, I held nursing, national officer and managerial roles with several
UN missions, including UNICEF Kosovo, UNMIK, and UNMIT in Timor-Leste. These
assignments placed me in complex, multicultural environments where I provided primary
and emergency healthcare, supervised medical staff, supported evacuations, and
contributed to public health planning and capacity building. My work consistently
emphasized compassionate care, confidentiality, and crisis response.
Returning to Kosovo in 2010, I served with EULEX as a Advanced Practice GP Nurse and
later transitioned into academic roles, initially joining Heimerer College-for a short time ,
and later AAB College of Nursing, since the first day in October 2016 , as a admin officer
and assistant lecturer. My focus has been on mentoring undergraduate nursing students,
designing curricula, and leading practical placements. Since 2016, I have been a
permanent University Lecturer at AAB College’s School of Nursing, teaching general
nursing and contributing to academic research, faculty development, and student
evaluation.
Concurrently, since December 2017, I have served as Clinical Academic Nurse Specialist
at the U.S. Embassy in Kosovo. In this role, I provide advanced and holistic care to
diplomatic and local staff, including diagnosis, chronic disease management, and
coordination with external providers. I apply expert-level decision-making in occupational
and primary care, grounded in evidence-based practice and cultural competence.
Throughout my career, I have continually invested in professional development, completing
advanced certifications in infectious diseases, trauma care, resuscitation, palliative care,
and emergency response. These include training with Harvard Medical School, the
American Heart Association, American Red Cross (BLS-certified) instructor / trainer and
the European Resuscitation Council, among others.
Fluent in Albanian, Serbian, English, and conversational in German and Turkish, I bring
strong communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills to every setting. I am deeply
committed to improving health outcomes through education, practice, and advocacy, and I
take pride in mentoring the next generation of nurses to carry forward this mission.
