Curious by nature and driven by purpose, I am passionate about ideas that inspire growth and connection. As the founder and organizer of TEDxUniversity of Athens, I strive to create spaces where people feel empowered and inspired. Alongside this, I take an active role in volunteering, leading environmental initiatives and contributing to social impact projects, while continuously seeking ways to support and uplift those around me.

I have always been drawn to exploring new ideas and seeking out new experiences, which has shaped me into a curious and motivated individual. This mindset naturally connects with my passion for supporting and encouraging the people around me, as I enjoy helping others feel confident, valued, and inspired. I strongly believe in growth, meaningful connections, and creating a positive impact in everything I do. At the same time, I am someone who thinks big and sets high goals, driven by a desire to continuously evolve. Alongside this, I am actively engaged in volunteering and environmental initiatives, as I care deeply about contributing positively both to people and to the world around me.

My journey with TED began at the age of 16, when I had the opportunity to be a presenter at a TED-Ed event. That experience was a turning point for me, introducing me to a world of ideas, creativity, and meaningful dialogue that instantly inspired me. I was fascinated by the power of sharing ideas and the impact it could have on people. Over time, that initial spark grew into a deeper passion, and by the age of 19, I decided to take a step further and bring this experience to my own environment. With that vision in mind, I founded the TEDxUniversity of Athens, driven by the desire to create a platform where ideas can be shared, voices can be heard, and a community can come together to inspire and be inspired.
