About me
Born and raised in Johannesburg with Greek roots, I’ve spent much of my life exploring different corners of the world—living 19 years in Switzerland before moving to Bermuda in 2024. In 2010, I took a year off from my career as an actuary to travel, volunteer, and immerse myself in a new language—an experience that shaped my love for adventure and connection. That same spirit of exploration and challenge led me to the ocean, where I became a world record-holding rower as part of the fastest mixed-gender team of four to cross the mid-Pacific. For me, it’s about pushing limits, embracing the unknown, and growing through every journey—on land or at sea.
What motivates me
I find joy in the simple things—being in nature, moving with the rhythm of the outdoors, and appreciating the quiet moments. Adventure fuels me, especially when it leads to meaningful experiences and deeper connections. I’m driven by the desire to make a difference—both for the people around me and the world we share. Each day is an opportunity to grow, to learn, and to move one step closer to becoming the best version of myself.
