Introduction Hello all! I was born and raised in Thessaloniki, Greece where I lived until I was seventeen. For my tertiary education, I moved to England, and later the US. Upon completing my graduate studies from SUNY at Buffalo, my husband and I returned to live in Europe, first in Brussels, Belgium and then Athens, Greece. I have taught for the University of Maryland extension programs in both countries while later I co-founded the research company KYROS that dealt with European Union-funded research projects on communications and distance learning. Currently I am tenured professor at Hillsborough Community College. I have presented a number of papers in various conferences in the US and overseas and have published in peer-reviewed journals. I served for four years as editor-in-chief of the African Journal of Hospitality, Tourism and Leisure. I am fluent in English, Greek, French and Spanish. I am married, with three children and four grandchildren.
Interests Reading, hiking, learning foreign languages
