Chrysa Oikonomidou Email & Phone Number

I am a creative writing graduate of the MLitt programme at the University of Glasgow, currently employed as a Clerical Officer in the European Parliament. I am interested in creative writing, content creation, editing and publication.During my two years as a student at Glasgow University, I have obtained an excellent command of the English language and polished my critical thinking while engaging in reading and writing short stories. The programme's orientation encouraged us to produce creative texts independently and get involved with the editing and publication industry. Those two main paths have provided me with the necessary skillsets for addressing multiple projects simultaneously, meeting deadlines, and collaborating with people worldwide.Moreover, I hold an Integrated Master's Degree from the Department of Audio and Visual Arts of the Ionian University. While studying there, I have earned diverse knowledge in arts and culture and honed my critical and academic writing skills. Through my volunteer work as an assistant, artist, and curator in many university activities, such as the Interdisciplinary Conference “Taboo – Transgression – Transcendence in Art and Science,” I have obtained the necessary combination of communication and organisational skills a multidisciplinary team requires. During my two-month internship at the Greek National Gallery Corfu Annex, I was acquainted with the museum sector while working alongside my supervisor in creating an educational museum guide for teachers and young students to raise awareness about visual literacy and digital storytelling.From January 2021 until March 2024, I was part of the editorial of the Greek bi-monthly literary magazine "Banal" where I have published 18 short stories.
