Athens, Attiki, Greece
My solid foundations in theatre studies, a Master’s degree in Communications, Media and PR and my proven work experience so far, provide me with the necessary skillset to pursue a career in any communications role. I am passionate about understanding, communicating effectively, and working with people (theatre is people’s work!). My strong customer-service and organizational skills, experience in internal and external corporate communications along with my people-oriented, trustworthy and friendly personality complete the puzzle! As a communications professional I aim to leverage my artistic background and skills in my job, as well as my affinity for organization and coordination in the workplace. This allows me to approach my work in a creative, interactive and at the same time, consistent and methodized manner. I like learning, as well as sharing knowledge, and I seek to explore new areas of work to grow professionally. Project management is an area I will aim to move towards and combine it with my communications background. I fully harness all opportunities that come along. Having lived in five countries and being fluent in three languages I thrive and feel comfortable in a multicultural environment as my work experience shows. I consider myself a citizen of the world and my experiences have equipped me with an open-minded, accepting, and receptive attitude which I like to bring into my work. I like a work-environment where I can meet new people from various backgrounds, where I can exchange ideas and broaden my perspective; I adapt easily to change and to an environment different from my own. This is why working in European and international institutions I believe suits me well and I seek to advance my career there as much as possible. My motto is always that “Every success begins with two words: I’ll try!” and I am open and look forward to any opportunities which will allow me to do just that.
