My Story.

My love for writing and creativity has been three decades in the making. Back in the 00s, when I was at school, it was clear that I had a knack and a love for writing. Of course, the internet was only just in the first flushes of youth and us aspiring writers could have only imagined the opportunities that would be available to us further down the road. If you asked me back then what I wanted to do with my life, writing would’ve featured very heavily on my list. I wanted to go down the traditional route of becoming an Author or Journalist and am still working on my dream to become a published author.

Growing up I was lucky to be surrounded and inspiried by two cultures—my family’s vibrant and proud Greek Cypriot heritage and my London-born identity. This mixing pot has truly shaped who I am, whether its the traditions my family have always embraced or getting to live in London and soak up the dynamic culture. That’s why my writing is a reflection of the things that inspire me in life- fashion, beauty, lifestyle, culture, theatre, literature.

In 2012 I went to uni to study English Literature with Film Studies and developed my writing, before moving on to an MA in Journalism and Media Communications. At this point, social media was starting to become bigger and the opportunities for writers were growing exponentially. Since graduating, I have gained some fabulous experiences and now work as a writer and marketing manager for businesses and brands.

Beyond work, I live with my fiance and love wandering around my home city of London, whether it’s seeing a show among the bright lights of the Westend or thrift shopping in the electric East. I also love to explore further a field, falling in love with little corners of the world and embracing new places.

Here are a few more flash facts to get to know me:

  • I’m Audrey Hepburn’s self-confessed biggest fan

  • Theatre and musical theatre lover, although I can’t sing

  • February Aquarius who feels more and more Aquarius with each passing year

  • Self-taught crochet and crafter during the pandemic.
