I have earned a Bachelor degree in the Faculty of Early Childhood Education from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. In 2014 I moved to Luxembourg with the “Au Pair” program. Later on, I completed the two-years Master program “Master of Science in Educational Sciences” at the Flemish University Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Belgium. Driven by my interest in drama/theater in education I conducted a thesis entitled “Drama in Education as a medium for teaching History to young learners and its capacity to promote Self-Regulated approaches of Learning”. Αs part of my Master’s academic obligations, I worked as a trainee at Vrije Universiteit Brussels in the field of E-learning (design of online courses). I worked as an Early Childhood educator at an International School in Belgium for two years. At the same time, I volunteered at the educational non-profit organization “Itan ena mikro Karavi” in Brussels, where I was designing and implementing activities for children in Greek. In 2019 I returned to Athens where I worked for a school year in a private kindergarten school. Since 2020 I am a member of the Learn Inn EKPA group.
