Please tell us a little bit about yourself:

I’ve work in the coffee industry as a barista for the last seven years. Speciality coffee is my passion and the reason I became the 2018 Greek Barista champion. I love competing in coffee events because it gives me motivation and of course its a great chance to develop my knowledge. I am part of The Underdog roasters family, a well known speciality coffee company in Greece and abroad.

Explore the coffee scene of the city and food culture.

Is there anyone you would like to thank or recognize, or who helped you to prepare for the WBC?:

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?:

In less than five years I hope to operate my own speciality coffee shop, serving delicious coffees roasted by The Underdog roasters coffee company.
