I am a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London in Political Sciences. My area of research is the use of marketing and branding in politics, and I am investigating the interaction between communication strategies and political parties. I have experience in a wide range of organisational and managerial positions including the National Hellenic Research Foundation and Village Communication Centre at the Athens 2004 Olympic games. My aim is to pursue a career in academic political research as well as taking an active interest in the political discussion.
