Agriculturist, Food Technologist
Kavala
Summary
In a few words Ever since I can remember myself, I have always been close to the land and food. I was 10 years old when I started helping in my family's sunflower corn and wheat production business where I cultivated my love for the result of farming, food. That is why I chose to study the profession of an Agronomist with a focus on Food Technology which I practiced through internships in Greece and abroad. During my training in the Greek Army, I remained engaged with the field by creating the ‘Ελληνικά Δημητριακά’ community, aimed at providing farmers with regular, unbiased updates to enhance farming efficiency. With my background in studies, work experience, internships, and volunteer work, I am eager to support companies in achieving their goals and delivering high-quality products and services to consumers.
