Born in Belfast, I spent much of my childhood in North America. I earned a liberal arts BA from Ambassador University before moving to France for nine years. I pursued studies in Accounting and Economics at L'INTEC Institute in Paris, France before completing a post-graduate diploma in Applied Linguistics at Sheffield Hallam University in Sheffield, UK. I teach a variety of courses, including English at the Refugee Care Center in Thessaloniki, Greece. I have extensive experience in professional training courses and further education classes. I also have a passion for digital marketing and website development (e.g. V.I.P. Vacation Planners and Xristianiki Diakonia). Another passion of mine is the study of theology, my major at Ambassador University.
In 1995, I married Panayiota Piska, a Civil Engineer, from Greece and in 1997 our two lovely twin daughters, Vasilea and Chrysanthe, were born. They have now finished their degree studies both at the undergraduate level in Archealogy and History at the Thessaloniki University of Aristotle as well as at the post-graduate Master's level in the field of Education. They have also completed their national exams to be licensed tour guides in Greece.
