I have graduated with a BA in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics at the University of Cyprus, and I am pursuing a MSc in Clinical Linguistics. I am a member of the Cyprus Acquisition Team. My areas of interest include Language and Cognition, Language Disorders, and Clinical Linguistics.

My BA thesis project explored impaired syntax in Cypriot Greek-speaking populations with neurogenic conditions, with a focus on the interaction between dialectal micro-variation and language breakdown.

Beyond Linguistics, I am also an active advocate for Cultural and Knowledge Commons and of Free-Libre Software.
