Half Greek, half Peruvian. Born and raised in Peru always celebrating the greek traditions of my family. I hope to be an inspiration for all greek groms around the world and hopefully become a full size Junior Greek Surfing Team. Started surfing as soon as I learned to swim at 4 years old, first with my bodyboard and soon switched to shortboard and never left it since. I began competing at age 9 and am honored to join Team Greece for the ISA Competitions, looking forward to give my best!
