She reported from Athens and Brussels the twists in Greece's heated bailout negotiations with its international lenders during the country's decade-long financial meltdown and was a finalist with her Athens bureau colleagues for the Reuters Reporting Team of the Year in 2012 and Story of the Year in 2015. Today she covers mainly politics, crime, climate change and shipping, including Red Sea attacks.
She read journalism at the City University in London and linguistics at the University of Athens and the Freie Universität Berlin.
