My journalism is rooted in over two decades of experience spanning environmental science, international environmental policy, and strategic communications.
Before turning to agricultural journalism, I spent more than ten years as a communications expert with international organisations — primarily the Mediterranean Wetlands Initiative of the Ramsar Convention (MedWet), and also the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP/MAP) and the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) — designing multilingual communications strategies, managing EU-funded projects, and producing awareness materials across the Mediterranean and sub-Saharan Africa
I have also worked as an environmental economist, authoring for UNEP/MAP an analytical chapter on the impacts of economic growth on the Mediterranean marine environment, and a chapter in the collective volume Integrated Water Resources Management in the Mediterranean (GWP-Med / MIO-ECSDE).
I have further contributed as a research collaborator to a project on the valuation of plant genetic resources in Greece (Athens University of Economics and Business), which resulted in a publication in the international peer-reviewed journal Ecological Economics.
I have additionally served as an independent expert evaluator under the Horizon 2020 SME Instrument (EIC Accelerator), assessing proposals from agritech innovators — an experience that gave me firsthand insight into how European innovation funding works in practice.


This layered background — combined with certified expertise in olive oil sensory evaluation and fifteen years covering Greek and Mediterranean agrifood systems — forms the foundation for the collaborations I pursue with media outlets, research institutions, EU-funded projects, and agrifood sector stakeholders whose work centres on the Greek agricultural economy, sustainability, and Mediterranean food heritage.
Some stories can’t be told from behind a screen.
They need place, atmosphere, people, detail — the kind of material you only get by being there. That’s where strong content becomes memorable content: vivid, human, and far more likely to catch the attention of editors, clients, and audiences.
Field-based storytelling, with the right story and budget, can turn standard PR or content into something with real depth, energy, and impact.
