Vicky is an Operations & Finance Associate at STIPO Greece, holding a degree in Economics from the University of Macedonia and a master’s in Cultural Economics & Entrepreneurship from Erasmus University Rotterdam. In her current role, she supports the organization’s financial and administrative functions, manages European projects, and coordinates initiatives centered on people, places, and collective action.

With a strong background in the cultural sector and European projects, she has collaborated with institutions such as the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) in Athens and the Mauritshuis in The Hague. Her deep interest in community building and how people connect with their surroundings led her naturally to placemaking, which she sees as the perfect link between culture, people, and public space to improve everyday life.

Ironically, for someone so dedicated to places and spaces, Vicky has a notoriously terrible sense of direction. She can get lost incredibly easily and tends to forget street names, even in neighborhoods where she has lived for years!
