The Story

I’ve been passionate about acting for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Greece, I found my home on stage—whether in the raw intensity of Lorca’s Blood Wedding or the comedic chaos of Feydeau’s Le Din Don. That love for performance never left me.

After years in the tourism and hospitality industry, I moved to London in 2014. I worked in both front- and back-of-house roles, including corporate environments, but my heart kept pulling me back to the stage. In 2019, I decided to follow that calling and pursue acting professionally. I trained in Method Acting at the Brian Timoney Actors Studio, completing the Ultimate Method Acting Program, and have been fully immersed in my creative journey ever since.

My theatrical repertoire spans both classic and contemporary works. I’ve played Suzanne in A Tailor for Ladies (2023), which I co-translated and adapted, Foteini in With Power from Kifisia (2022), Angie in The X-MASsacre (2023), and She in She—a solo tragedy monologue currently touring the UK (2024–present). Earlier roles include Hills Like White Elephants and King Arthur Socks, all of which have helped me explore diverse and challenging narratives.

In 2022, I founded Medley Theatre Company to collaborate with fellow creatives from different backgrounds. A year later, I co-founded Broadmai Productions, producing theatre and film with a focus on underrepresented voices. In 2024, I added Film Production Management training to my skill set at All Spring Media.

Today, I’m an actress, producer, casting director, and drama club co-runner, passionate about storytelling in all its forms—and especially about creating space for voices that deserve to be heard.
