Bio
Kyriaki was born in Athens, Greece in 1984 and emigrated to England with her parents at a tender age. She first lived in the town of Bicester, Oxfordshire until the mid-1990s when the family relocated again to the city of Coventry. She has yet to acclimatise to British weather.
Going to a comprehensive school in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, Kyriaki discovered she had a flair for foreign languages and a passion for drama. Among her favourite memories is her stint as Wicked Witch of the West in a drama group adaptation of the Wizard of Oz. She also went to Greek school every saturday for the majority of her formative years, leading to the achievement of an A grade A-level in Modern Greek.
At Castle Sixth Form Centre she achieved a further four A-levels (NOT including general studies thank you very much), managing to perfect the art of late nights at the local indie haunt on a Thursday while still staying awake for double Economics on a Friday afternoon.
In 2002 she attended Durham University, finishing with a first in Ancient. Medieval and Modern History. In between reading about Roman belly-buttons and cultural imperialism she found time to be the lead singer of a band that enjoyed much local notoriety - particularly among Durham taxi drivers, who for some reason are allergic to ferrying a drum kit any reasonable distance.
After university #1 she moved south to Bournemouth to take up a job in arts PR and marketing with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. She met some very cool people and did some creative things, but it was always her ambition to become a journalist.
She took the first step in making that a reality in 2007 by starting an MA in Multi-Media Journalism at Bournemouth University. She was very priviledged to get a scholarship for this from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and worked her butt off in return to land a Distinction in December 2008.
She loves music, singing, talking, magazines, newspapers and meeting people.
