About me
I work as a Biology teacher and Environmental Educator in secondary education. I hold an MSc in Environmental Conservation and Management from the Open University of Cyprus and a BSc in Biology from the University of Athens. My MSc thesis was on the interactions of Ziziphus lotus with neighbouring plants and currently continue along the same line studying the ecology and distribution of Ziziphus lotus in Cyprus.
