Integrated MSc Agronomist from the Agricultural University of Athens. The Direction of my degree is Plant Protection and Environment. My Thesis focused on olive diseases and the testing of modern plant protection products such as nanomaterials, bioelicitors, and essential oils. During that period, I got involved in chromatography, spectrophotometry, fungal cultures, and bioassays. For four months, I worked in an agricultural shop as part of the internship, where I contacted farmers and learned about technical issues of crops. For the last year, I have been working at IKEA Company, in Athens, as manager of Plant Section in a department store.
