What I'm looking for
With a robust background in accounting and finance, I have developed a comprehensive skill set that enables me to excel in various accounting roles.

My experience includes managing daily accounting tasks, preparing audit documents, and training new team members on essential processes.
Previously, I held positions at Blueground as an Accounting Associate and at Catholic Relief Services as a Finance Assistant, where I honed my skills in vendor communication, financial reporting, and data entry. My educational background, with a Master's in Management Science and Technology and a Bachelor's in Business Administration from Athens University, complements my practical experience, allowing me to approach challenges with a strategic mindset. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to contribute to organizational success and drive efficiency in accounting operations.
