I hold a law degree from the Department of Law, Economics and Political Sciences of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and I am an accredited mediator registered in the special register of family and real estate mediators maintained by the Central Mediation Committee (KED). I have an excellent knowledge of English and French, languages from and to which I have the right to make official translations. 

I started my studies on 01/10/2003 and successfully completed them on 28/11/2008, when I was sworn in as a lawyer. On 28/11/2008 I was registered at the Thessaloniki Bar Association as a trainee lawyer until 07/09/2010, when I completed the necessary legal practice at the law firm of Hatzinikolaou Nikolaos. Throughout my internship I was responsible for the preparation of legal cases mainly in civil law and I was particularly involved in the research of legal sources and jurisprudence as well as the preparation of legal documents (proposals, memos, lawsuits, pleadings, etc.)

On 08/09/2010 I was sworn in as an attorney at the Court of Appeal of Thessaloniki and since then I have been a registered member of the Thessaloniki Bar Association as an active attorney. In the above mentioned law firm I remained as an associate lawyer until 14/04/2012. From 15/04/2012 to 30/11/2017 I worked as an associate lawyer at the law firm Theodoros Tsiatsios and Associates, where I was particularly involved in the law of foreigners, holding at the same time the position of civil law manager, while I actively participated in many conferences organized around the country on the rights of refugees-foreigners and immigration issues.
