I was born in Neo Irakleio , Attica, ( a northern suburb of Athens which before WW2 was one of the holiday resorts for Athenians due to its excellent climate). I still live in the same place with my journalist husband and my only son.
In 1982 I entered the School of Philosophy at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and in 1987 I graduated from the Faculty of History and Archaeology. The following year I studied Russian at the Pushkin Institute in Moscow under a scholarship from the Hellenic-Soviet Friendship association, where I had studied for the previous six years and where my first contact with journalism was made at the periodical they published.
On coming back from Moscow, I got my first job as a newspaper journalist in 1989. I worked as a reporter for quite a few newspapers and as a columnist for nine years until 2007 when I left the mass media, being fully conscious that the particular area had nothing to do with what I had decided to serve in journalism when I started my career.
In recent years I attended theater education seminars and I deal exclusively with the playwriting.view less
