Employed Since: 2019
I studied at the Department of "Philosophical and Social Studies" with a focus on Philology at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Crete and completed my practical training at the 2nd Lyceum of Rethymno.
I always remember myself saying that I wanted to become a teacher. From my school years, I was fascinated by subjects related to history and language. During the first year of my university studies, I fell in love with and was truly initiated into the world of Literature thanks to my professor, Mrs. Kastrinaki.
However, my favorite line is "You came and brushed aside the fabricated" from the poem "Truths" by my professor, Maria Charalambidi, who gifted me her collection in 1997 when I was a student in the first year of Lyceum.
In my free time, I love solving crosswords and am a subscriber to the magazine "National Geographic."
I am the third daughter of Moschos and Irene, and sister to Eleni and Chrysoula. I am blessed to be the mother of Dioni and the partner of Marios. I believe that the world can become better if we see it as we want it to be. After all, "life is beautiful!"
