TEDx Organizers

I am a very well rounded person. By studying information and computer science, I have explored technology through an academic lens. Fashion is also a huge passion of mine, and I've immersed myself in self-started clubs and internships to learn more about the industry. I've also always been a performer, taking on theater and singing since a very early age and carrying it with me until today. I am an award winning journalist, and have been recognized for beholding impressive writing prose. My linguistic passion also contributes to my differing interests as well, where I grew up speaking Greek and learning fluent Spanish. Lastly, I have been a dedicated kickboxer since my freshman year of high school, and love the rush I get from participating.

I carry an extreme passion for refugees, especially the process of adaptation in a new land and community. As a first hand witness of the struggles of a refugee and my work with international organizations such as UNHCR, Amnesty International, and Plan International; it takes a lot of guidance, long hours of training, counseling and enormous amounts of resources to help refugees adapt in all areas of life. I aspire to create a sustainable system that can help introduce, guide and aid refugees/1st generation immigrants throughout each one of the processes, rather than having them go out on their own trying to figure out step by step and not have a long term plan of assimilation. As a big part of this cause, I yearn to be able to teach and provide support to refugees and immigrants of all ages, provide adequate resources to encourage them to become entrepreneurs by pursuing their creative ideas to generate business plans and profitable businesses.
