What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in cultural heritage that fosters creativity and collaboration.

I am a dedicated cultural heritage professional with a Master’s degree in Cultural Heritage Materials & Technologies from the University of Peloponnese. My academic journey has been enriched by my studies in Art History at Istanbul Mimar Sinan University and Paris 1: Panthéon-Sorbonne, where I developed a profound understanding of art and archaeology. I have participated in numerous seminars and workshops, enhancing my knowledge in conservation and the arts.

In my professional experience, I have held various roles, including Artist Relations/Curator at HUBDesign in New York and Workforce Planner at Carrière NL. My work as an archaeologist at the Ancient Agora Excavation allowed me to apply my academic knowledge in a practical setting. I am passionate about fostering connections between artists and audiences, and I thrive in collaborative environments that celebrate creativity and cultural exchange.
