During my final year as a student at The American College of Greece, I had the opportunity to work part-time in the Accounting & Finance Department at Medbest. This was my first professional experience, serving as an internship where I was able to apply my academic knowledge in a real-world setting. Throughout this role, I gained hands-on experience in journal entries, reconciliations, invoicing, and financial reporting. Beyond technical skills, I developed valuable soft skills such as teamwork, communication, time management, and problem-solving. This experience was an incredible learning process, helping me grow both professionally and personally, and solidifying my interest in finance and business operations.

Specialized in marketing strategy, digital marketing, and social media management. Applied theory through hands-on involvement as Social Media Manager for student societies (B4Strays Club and International Business Society), where I coordinated campaigns, managed content, and engaged audiences. This experience enhanced both my creative and analytical marketing skills, bridging classroom knowledge with real-world application.

Completed a minor focused on financial reporting, accounting principles, and account management, gaining practical knowledge of financial statements, reconciliation, and compliance. This program strengthened my analytical skills and gave me the ability to interpret and manage financial data in both academic and professional settings.

Graduated with a strong academic foundation in international trade, cross-cultural management, global strategy, and EU business regulations. The program, validated by The Open University (UK), emphasized critical thinking, teamwork, and adaptability in multicultural environments. During my studies, I actively engaged in campus life as Social Media Manager for the B4Strays Club and the International Business Society, while also serving as a Governing Body Member in both. I participated in events such as the Business Week Forum, gaining exposure to international networking opportunities and industry insights. I also applied my knowledge through hands-on projects, including consulting work with Deloitte and an international marketing strategy case study for Ideal Bikes, which enhanced my ability to combine theory with real-world business challenges.
