I was born in Athens in 1977 and grew up on the island of Hydra from the age of 5 until the age of 18. I studied Counseling and Psychology, Creative Writing, Music Theory and Orthophony, Directing and Acting and completed my studies with courses in School Psychology. Since I was a kid, I was dreaming about chasing the light and sing loud against the wind. I dreamed of becoming a monk or a missionary, travel to Africa, help children, write and read stories to them.  I dreamed of learning how to deep dive into the sea. But I never made it. The loss of hearing in my right ear kept me away from the deep sea and noisy hangouts, but brought me closer to writing, peace and long walks in nature. Growing up, I made peace with “silence”, traveled, met people and stayed true to what my heart always wanted to hear. Stories with beautiful endings… Today, I live and work in Athens, without however forgetting my great love for Hydra. Even though I am older now, I still play like a kid and have never stopped dreaming…
