Standing still has been a challenge for me since I were a kid.
Maybe that's why I've been on a fast-paced adventure through different countries and careers!
I kicked off my journey in the UK treading the boards as an actor and sharing my passion as a theatre teacher. I spent a whole decade soaking up knowledge and honing my craft in the performing arts.
But then the entrepreneurial spirit took hold of me and I felt the urge to dive into the business world. So I took the plunge and set up a trading company in Greece. It was a tough call, but I was determined to make it a success. For nine years, I navigated the ups and downs of being a business owner, learning invaluable lessons along the way. I chose to do this, not only because I was strong in customer service, but mainly because I liked creating "worlds" through visual merchandising and setting up my storefront in the centre of Athens. It seems that storytelling, in one way or another, has always been an essential part of me.
In the midst of all this, I found myself drawn to the digital world. I had to wrap my head around social media, copywriting and creating great content. It was a steep learning curve, but I discovered that this was my true calling.
In 2021, I made the bold move to close up shop and focus solely on my newfound passion.
After taking a course in digital marketing, I began to utilise my skills by creating content for various industries and taking on the role of social media manager. For a whole year, I was in charge of TEDxAthens' social media and provided my expertise as a copyeditor for various projects.
In 2022, I landed a full-time position as a creative copywriter at BAAS DIGITAL, a dynamic digital advertising agency. It's been an exciting ride so far, and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to broaden my professional horizons and harness my creativity in developing great concepts. I'm proud of the fact that the 360° campaign "Checked Up" by BAAS DIGITAL, based on my creative concept and copy, was honoured with silver at the Indie Awards 2024!
Additionally, I'm currently taking on projects on a freelance basis, handling social media and creating content, writing web copy, and crafting advertorials across various fields.
I'd say I'm an extroverted introvert - I thrive on human interaction, but I also cherish my solitary work. Maybe this duality is the secret sauce for my creativity - who knows?
So there you have it. Standing still is all well and good as long as it keeps you moving forward. Imagine you're in a lift – if it's not moving, what's the point?
