Bio
My name is Marina and I am Greek. My journey in the field of education starts from 2009 in Greece. Since 2014, I have been living and teaching in the UAE. From 2021 onwards, I have been teaching students in secondary education, specifically those in the diploma program, and adults, with a proven record of improving student outcomes and developing innovative curriculum.
I am dedicated to lifelong learning and in ongoing professional development. I am currently an Education Doctorate Candidate (2024-2027, UCAM Spain). My research focuses on educators' mental health and well-being. I am a transformative educator, empowering students to reach their full potentials and committed to foster environments that promote inclusivity, critical thinking and social and emotional growth.
