Originally from Geneva, Switzerland, Oureana comes from a Portuguese family. Passionate about many fields such as languages, biochemistry, and hospitality, she ultimately chose to study medicine in Geneva. However, at the age of 19, she moved to Portugal to experience Portuguese life. After her first year in medical school, she decided to specialise in nutrition by enrolling at the Faculty of Medicine in Lisbon, where she graduated in 2023.
She completed a six-month internship in research and community nutrition, which allowed her to gain access to the Portuguese Order of Nutritionists. At he same time, she is pursuing a Master’s in paediatric nutrition at the University of Porto.
Oureana firmly believes that everything happens for a reason and that every encounter has contributed to her current path.
