I was born in Augsburg, Germany and grew up in Athens, Greece where I finished high school. Now I am an undergraduate student of Environmental Sciences at the University of the Aegean.

Since I remember myself, I've had an unshakable urge for being in, or at least near Nature. Reptiles and invertebrates, in particular insects, had always been at the top of my interests. Therefore, being in the Biogeography and Ecology laboratory, where I mainly deal with the taxonomy of beetles, is something that really makes me feel happy.

I am also pretty interested in travelling, nature activities, craftworks and organic farming.
