How would you describe yourself in 10 words or less?

Creative, kind, a college student, musician, singer, instrumentalist, composer and lyricist.

What is your fondest memory of St. Catherine’s?

My fondest memory of St. Catherine's was performing for the first time in the old hall. That being said, I also deeply enjoyed the trips I took part in - both within Greece and abroad to places such as the United Kingdom, France and the United States. 

What was the most important thing you learned at St. Catherine’s?

I wouldn’t say one thing I learnt at St. Catherine's outweighs everything else in importance but the variety of subjects taught throughout has given me relevant background knowledge that is often useful in places one might not expect. Even as I study music at college, things I learnt in St. Catherine's; English, history or even mathematics classes, have assisted me in being able to better handle the academic difficulties of university student life. 

How did St. Catherine’s help shape your path?

St. Catherine's allowed me to explore my interests freely, and gave me the time and space to decide what career path I wanted to pursue. Growing up, a plethora of subjects interested me like mathematics, science and history, but the fact that St. Catheine’s offered me the opportunity to perform in school concerts and take extra music lessons (eg. vocal, guitar and theory) along with St. Catherine's strong music department was what ultimately solidified my love for the art of music.

What did you do after graduating from St. Catherine’s?

After graduating St. Catherine's I was accepted into Berklee College of Music, where I plan to graduate from in the Spring of 2026 with a Bachelor of Music majoring in songwriting and performance. 

What was your first job after finishing school, and what do you currently do?

I have not yet finished college but I am planning to release some of the songs I have been working on in my classes optimistically starting at some point during the next two months. I'm planning to release a couple singles after which I hope to be able to release an album named after the title track called “Nostalgic Nights”. 

What activities are you involved in outside of your career? What do you enjoy doing for fun? 

Outside of my passion for music I love to swim and I also participate in my university's martial arts club.

What are you most proud of—not only professionally, but personally as well?

One moment that made me proud is being able to get the black belt in karate but I was also proud of getting accepted into Berklee College of Music. 

What advice would you share with fellow St. Catherine’s alumni?

I would advise all those that will go to university or have already enrolled, to make the most out of the experience as your time in university will go by very quickly. So make sure you take all the opportunities you can to learn, grow and connect with other people.
