Professional Experience: |
My studies in combination with my work experience in the multicultural and diverse sectors which I mentioned in the application form, first of all helped me learn how to cooperate with different individuals from different kind of professions and as a result of this I practiced my teamwork and leadership skills. I learned that the best result in any practice, can be achieved by creating an open dialogue and by exchanging ideas with respect to the other persons character, experience and suggestions.
To begin with, my communications, management and planning skills were improved a lot when I worked in the Marketing sector in which I used my knowledge on digital marketing and strategies in order to increase awareness for the firm’s services and goals. Also, because of the importance of the marketing department’s duties, I learned how to work with deadlines and how to use time efficiently in order to execute all the tasks in demand.
Moving forward, the Public Information internship which I did at the Press office, taught me how to provide efficient information to the public, how to understand the type of news which could create awareness of the office’s goals and finally it taught me different ways of working closely with people in the media. Also, I improved my analytical skills as I conducted research and evaluation, in order to target new audiences and increase their interest.
Furthermore, my last placement at the Shipbroking firm helped me develop excellent communication skills when collaborating with higher authorities and potential clients. I followed up different type of projects and deals which helped me improve my business development skills and it taught me to pay attention on details on the operational parts of the procedure.

Education: |
Master Degree on Culture, Politics and Management- City University of London. Bachelor Degree on Art History - The American College of Greece.
My studies on Art History (BA) and Culture, Politics and Management (MA) taught me how different kind of knowledge and practice can be combined. Art History helped me focus on details, research and analysis. Also, I learned how to conduct in depth research and evaluation of evidence, how to write big essays and reports in formal language and how to combine evidence and different methodologies in order to prove a thesis. In the master degree I studied Marketing Strategies, Public/Audience Relations, Fundraising, Digital Marketing, Managing Organisations, Cultural Policy and Evaluation. During that year I learned how to use marketing and management in combination with policies and protocols, in order to enhance awareness and interest of the audience on sociopolitical and personal level. These ways were taught in extensive case studies, which were based on research and analysis of resources and evidence. A a result of this procedure we concluded to the thesis which was supporting the core marketing strategies for the completions of the projects such as fundraising for cultural or philanthropical reasons.
At last, I am fluent in Greek, English and French, I have a IT certificate and I have attended seminars on digital marketing which helped me in my previous placements to use technology for the execution of daily tasks.
