I may have been born in Athens and raised in Rhodes, but half of my heart belongs to Kalymnos and Paris. I say this because my roots are in these two places, and having lived in both, I’ve collected some of my most beautiful memories. Growing up in a Franco-Greek environment, I decided, after finishing high school, to deepen my knowledge of the French language and culture. Therefore, I chose to study French Language and Literature at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
Wanting to further my studies, I then decided to go to France to pursue a master’s degree in Literature, Philology, and Linguistics in Applied French Language at the Sorbonne University in Paris. There, I had my first teaching experience, taking my initial steps as a French teacher by helping students who came to the Sorbonne through the ERASMUS program.
After five years, I decided to return to Rhodes, eager to dive into the world of education and share my love for the French language with children. In 2021, I had the joy and honor of becoming a member of the educational family at "RODION PAIDEIA." At the same time, I attended seminars at the Institut français in Athens and the Alliance Française in Paris. This year, I decided to return to the classroom myself and enrolled in the master's program "Analysis and Teaching of First and Second Foreign Languages" at the University of the Aegean.
I love animals, especially my dogs Kanelos and Yasmin, walking by the sea, reading books, and traveling.
