Maria Roussakis
The Power List 2020 – Lab Heroes
As a medical laboratory technologist specializing in hematology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Maria has a clear passion for the lab. She is a proactive user of social media and set up the #MedLabChat hashtag, which brings together laboratory medicine professionals from around the world to discuss issues and provide support. Maria writes regular blog articles and records podcasts that nominators call inspiring and engaging. Her advice to those starting out? “Build a professional network through your workplace, volunteering initiatives, attending conferences, or social media. By expanding your network, you meet people with whom you can learn and collaborate.”
