She was born in Athens in 1993 and has been active in the fields of classical and contemporary dance from a very young age, while also being involved in physical theater. She is a theater educator and museum educator. In 2016, she graduated from the School of Fine Arts at the University of Ioannina, specializing in Art History and Theory with a focus on museum education. She then completed her Master’s program in Theater, Language, and Literature in Education at the Department of Primary Education, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, with a thesis titled “The Role of Theater Education Programs in Museum Pedagogy,” focusing on Theater in Education. She has also attended numerous seminars and training sessions on museum learning, theater, directing, and dance (at the Hellenic Children’s Museum of Athens, School of Play – Manto Kouretsi, dance seminars with Polina Kremasta, Tina Nasika, Elena Topalidou, among others). Additionally, she completed the credited seminar “Performance – Theory and Practical Application” at the University of Patras.

Since 2015, she has been designing and implementing theater education programs for cultural and educational spaces (Municipal Art Gallery of Ioannina, Hellenic Children’s Museum, Athens Book Space, Thalassa Foundation, schools, theater festivals, National Sculpture Gallery, among others). In 2022-2023, she conducted two theater education programs for teenagers: “Voices in the Present,” focusing on the construction of memory in all its forms, inspired by the historical narrative of 1821, and “A Universe for Us,” inspired by Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” She also facilitates theatrical and visual play workshops for infants and children in museums and artistic spaces.

Currently, she is the head of the Educational Programs Department at the Maria Callas Museum, where she designs and implements educational and theater education programs for children, teenagers, young people, and adults. At the same time, she collaborates with the Industrial Gas Museum and Athens for Kids at the National Gallery, designing and implementing theater education programs and theatrical games-interactive performances. Her research interests focus on Theater in Museums and Theater in Education. For her, theater acts as a release in relation to all her needs related to art—it combines play with childhood and everyday life, something that helps you manage situations and live.
