What I'm looking for

I’m looking to transition into social sciences and humanitarian work, applying my inclusive, trauma-informed teaching experience and Social Anthropology background to drive social support, inclusion, and community-based interventions.

I’m an empathetic educator with extensive experience in intercultural and inclusive education, particularly supporting children from refugee and migrant backgrounds. I specialize in creating safe, engaging, learner-centered environments that strengthen both academic progress and psychosocial well-being, using intercultural and trauma-informed approaches.

I hold a BA in Social Anthropology (Panteion University, 2016–2024), and I’m motivated to transition into social sciences and humanitarian work. Alongside my teaching background, I completed Personal Career Counseling and Vocational Guidance (500 hours, including 200 hours of practical training) and Adult Education (150 hours), deepening my skills in guidance, inclusion, and community-oriented social support.
