Background

About Elena Petriu

I'm a dedicated professional with a robust background in neurophysiology and unit management, spanning over 6 years of experience. Starting as a neurophysiology technician, I've evolved into a leader overseeing teams across two locations, ensuring streamlined operations and top-tier patient care.After making the permanent move to Norway in 2011 to pursue the possibility of completing my education and fulfilling my career ambitions, my journey began. This endeavor marked the start of a transformative process that involved learning a new language, adapting to a different culture, and undertaking various job roles that have collectively shaped my present position.In my role as a neurophysiology technician, I refined skills in diverse neurophysiological investigations, including EEG, evoked potentials tests, sleep investigations, and nerve conduction studies. I've also played a critical role as the link between our team and technical experts, ensuring our medical equipment is consistently primed for action.Drawing on my earlier experiences, I've gained a profound appreciation for teamwork and diverse perspectives, along with a remarkable ability to adapt to various situations and work collaboratively despite cultural differences. This foundational understanding, combined with my academic achievements—holding a Bachelor's degree in Communication and PR, a Bachelor's degree in Physical Therapy, and a Master's degree in Physical Therapy—has equipped me to contribute to research endeavours that amplify the clinical practices within the field of neurophysiology.Beyond my professional commitments, I'm an enthusiastic traveler, always seeking fresh horizons and cultural experiences. Exploring new culinary delights is another interest, as is indulging in live music at concerts.
