I am a MA graduate of the University of Groningen, in the field of International Relations/International Political Economy. At the moment I am employed as a Junior Research Fellow and Project Manager of the South East Europe Programme of the Hellenic Foundation of European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP). I am also co-founder and General Coordinator of the Non-Profit Organization SEE in Action, which aspires to promote cooperation of young people from South East Europe, through research, multilateral activities and exchange programs. Currently, I am also employed as a First Project Assistant, representative of Greece in the initiative Cooperation for a Common Future, which aims to establish an institutional mechanism for youth cooperation between Greece and North Macedonia. I have also been involved in research and cultural exchange projects in the past and I have a strong background in asylum procedures, as I had been working in the Ministry of Migration and Asylum for more than five years, holding the position of asylum caseworker.
