I was born and raised in Thessaloniki, a city I carry close to my heart wherever I am. I studied Applied Arts and Silversmithing, but my passion for visual arts, writing, and reshaping the world into something beautiful has led me on a long journey of self-discovery and career transitions—from working as an artist in jewelry labs to organizing cultural events, diversity festivals, and community building initiatives.
Over the years, my artistic work has taken many forms, including installations, sound poetry, media arts, and digital storytelling. From childhood through adulthood, I faced discrimination, labeling, and stigma.
This lived experience became the foundation of my journey in social change—a decade of organizing events like Human Libraries, coordinating integration programs, and leading art workshops for children, adults, and vulnerable groups.
Through this work, I've created safe spaces for learning, multicultural exchange, self-expression, and equality. Storytelling SKG emerged from my work in autobiographical storytelling, shaped by theater & vocal trainings in Greece, storytelling seminars in the Netherlands, and seminars in digital storytelling with expert practitioners.
My work has been recognized through awards and publications spanning non-fiction and fiction books, poems, fairytales, and digital storytelling pieces in three languages. I've participated in national and international contests, festivals, and conferences, always with a deep passion for helping people grow personally and professionally through the storytelling workshops and seminars I lead.
Adding to this is my love for travel and my studies in sustainable tourism, which led me to found Slow Travel Greece. There, as the sole writer, I share insights on how to (re)discover Greece mindfully. Through meaningful tours, storytelling walks in Thessaloniki, and other unique experiences, I aim to inspire travelers to connect deeply with the country and its culture.
