About me

Born in Stockholm to a Greek father and a Danish mother, I was raised primarily in Prague, worked in Paris and Madrid, studied at the University in Nottingham, and have since lived in London pursuing a career in Public Relations. My international background has awarded me a firm understanding and appreciation for different cultures - social, professional, and otherwise - and moreover has allowed me to gain an adaptable skillset which I bring to each of my professional endeavors. I have a solid 4+ years of professional experience under my belt - my background lies heavily in luxury travel PR and whilst agency work has given me invaluable experience and a strong skill-set to add to my existing social and organisational skills, I believe that these skills I have gained would be better applied to an in-house role where I can focus my efforts on promoting one product or service that I truly believe in. I am fun-loving, dynamic, and hard-working. I crave - as well as thrive in - a creative learning environment, and am seeking a company to which I can apply this enthusiasm and make a positive impact.
