International student-athlete from Greece and a Division I swimmer at UNC Asheville. Through swimming, I've gained discipline, resilience, and strong leadership skills. I'm also deeply passionate about content creation and journalism, and I love using storytelling as a way to connect and inspire.
I'm an international student-athlete from Greece, currently swimming at a Division I university in Asheville, North Carolina. I've been a swimmer for 17 years and proudly represented the Greek national team for six of those. Swimming has shaped who I am, teaching me discipline, resilience, teamwork, time management, and leadership. Ever since I was young, I dreamed of moving to the U.S. to study and compete as a Division I athlete—and I made that dream come true. Coming to the States pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow both personally and professionally.
Outside of the pool, I'm passionate about content creation—since the days of Musical.ly, I've loved making funny videos and sharing them online, now mostly on TikTok. I'm also deeply interested in journalism; I love hearing people's stories, exploring different perspectives, and bringing them to life through writing.
View ResumeI've been swimming for 17 years, ever since I first jumped in the water at 3 years old. From the very beginning, I fell in love with how swimming made me feel—strong, confident, and in control. I was a member of my country's national team for 6 years, competing at a high level and gaining experiences that shaped who I am. All the dedication, discipline, and hard work paid off when I moved to the United States to become a Division I athlete at UNC Asheville.
Being part of the UNCA swim and dive team has taught me valuable skills beyond the pool, like leadership, time management, and team building. As a full-time student-athlete, I train up to 20 hours a week while balancing academics and a social life. It's challenging, but it's helped me grow into a more focused, resilient, and well-rounded person. Every step of this journey has made me stronger, and I'm proud of how far I've come.

As the Videography & Social Media Intern for UNC Asheville Athletics, I created engaging video and social media content that helped boost engagement by 20%. I filmed and edited game highlights, athlete interviews, and promotional materials, and contributed to the department's digital marketing strategies. This experience taught me how to create content that audiences enjoy and helped me understand what types of posts are most appealing and effective in capturing attention.
I managed the Instagram account for the swim and dive team, creating graphics and content to promote the team and engage our audience.
Stay tuned for my fashion projects—coming soon.
