I am a vibrant, community-minded individual, passionate about art, film, music, yoga and travel, and driven by the values of authenticity and inclusivity. A Greek native, I embarked on a decade-long international journey, earning my BA in ‘Communication, Culture and Media’ from Coventry University and working in London across digital marketing, events and well-being practices such as yoga and meditation, all of which helped me cultivate a more holistic, human-centred approach to work and life. Back in Athens, enriched by cross-cultural experiences and a multifaceted skill set, I specialise in creative direction and communications, building brand identities and curating events that connect people and ideas in safe spaces. I've secured strategic partnerships, grown engaged audiences through social media storytelling, and delivered creative projects with social purpose. I find fulfilment in building experiences and partnerships that spark curiosity and dialogue, drive impact and engagement, and strengthen community bonds.
