With academic foundations in both Anthropology (BA) and Nursing (BSN, MSN, PhD), she brings a unique interdisciplinary perspective that bridges the science of healthcare with a deep understanding of culture, identity, and the human experience. Her clinical and academic focus spans reproductive health, paediatrics, and genetics/genomics, with a strong emphasis on delivering holistic, patient-centred care grounded in respect for cultural beliefs, human dignity, and social justice. Dr Chiatti’s research has contributed significantly to improving health outcomes for diverse and underserved populations, including her pioneering ethno-nursing study of Ethiopian immigrant communities in the United States—an influential body of work that continues to inform policy and practice globally. As an educator, Dr Chiatti is deeply committed to shaping the next generation of nurses. She has led numerous international study programmes, helping students develop a broader, more culturally aware approach to care. Her teaching integrates key principles of cultural competence, ethical practice, and equity in healthcare, reflecting her belief that education should extend beyond the classroom and into real-world impact. Dr Chiatti is also an experienced mentor, supporting nurses and academics across the globe. Since 2017, she has mentored professionals from diverse cultural and geographical backgrounds, fostering meaningful cross-cultural exchange and learning—an experience she describes as one of the most rewarding aspects of her career. Her contributions to nursing have been recognised through prestigious fellowships, including the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and the Transcultural Nursing Society. A dedicated member of both the Transcultural Nursing Society and the European Transcultural Nursing Association (ETNA), Dr Chiatti continues to champion equitable, culturally responsive healthcare for all.
