World Conference Team • 28 May 2026

Legal expertise and policy development

Skill Level:Expert
My legal understanding comes from my Law studies, my experience as a parliamentary and court reporter, and my work on media ethics and regulatory frameworks. As Chairwoman of the Cyprus Media Ethics Committee, I interpret laws and codes of conduct, and I examine policy-related cases, issuing decisions with all necessary legal information. I am also actively involved in the Constitution Revision Committee of the GGA Cyprus, where we review the Association’s Constitution and propose updates in consultation with our legal advisor. This combined experience allows me to engage confidently with governance and constitutional matters.

Skill Level:Expert
I have extensive practice in organisational development, used in all my professional positions, and I always follow on international and other developments in both design and systems for every different role, as certain experience that can be shared, along with my ability to adjust

Technology strategy, digital transformation and AI

Skill Level:Expert
Although not my professional field, I keep following on seminars and trainings as a journalist, working not only on traditional but also on New Media, and as a lecturer in the field of education. Digital transformation and AI tools are vital for my work, and I follow training on best use possible, as I also support personal creativity and no dependence on only technology. These practices always help me in my volunteer work as well.

Research and development

Skill Level:Professionally Qualified
Research underpins both my journalism and my teaching. Investigative reporting requires structured information gathering, verification and synthesis, while my academic role involves guiding students through research processes. In Guiding, I use the same approach when contributing to programme and policy discussions, making sure ideas are based on real needs and evidence.

Data analysis, monitoring, and evaluation

Skill Level:Professionally Qualified
My extended qualifications in data analysis, monitoring and evaluation come from my success as a journalist and a News Director. Years of experience and knowledge of different sources of all kinds of data have also increased my ability in quick and trustworthy evaluation, upon which I can base suggestions and ideas.
