Miss Cyprus
Home > Miss Miss Universe 2006 > Miss Cyprus
What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
My interests are reading, walking in nature, watching plays, traveling, going to the gym, and shopping. I enjoy meeting new people and communicating with them regardless of sex, age, race, or nationality. This gives me the opportunity to learn many things from them.
Name one person other than your parents who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
My brother. He is my best friend and although he lives abroad, he is always there for me to support me and advise me.
What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
Currently, I'm a teacher in a primary school, but in the future I want to work with children who have learning disabilities such as dyslexia. In order to accomplish this goal, I'm getting my Master's degree in Special Education.
Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
I was brought up in Kalymnos, a small Greek island, where I had a carefree childhood with my parents and my brother. We lived in a house near the seaside where I used to swim every day at sunset. When I was eight years old, my family and I returned back home to Cyprus.
What makes you unique and different from the other contestants?
I have the ability to see the positive view of every difficult situation.
