She began sailing at age eight. (reporter.com.cy, 20 Mar 2018)

She practised sailing and played volleyball growing up. "Sailing won me over with its sense of freedom and independence, as well as the fact that it is the sport that combines mind and body more than any other sports." (alphanews.live, 12 Nov 2019; reporter.com.cy, 20 Mar 2018)

Philosophy:

"Sailing forces you to mature and become more independent. From a very young age you find yourself facing difficult situations or weather conditions, and you are on a boat and have to control it." (alphanews.live, 12 Nov 2019)

She was named the 2019 Adolescent-Junior Athlete of the Year by the Cyprus Olympic Committee [KOE]. (balla.com.cy, 14 Feb 2020)

General
TOKYO QUEST
In 2017 she and her coach began working towards qualifying for the 2020 Olympic Games. Two years later, at age 16, she secured a qualification spot in the Laser Radial class for Tokyo through her performance at the 2019 Class World Championships in Sakaiminato, Japan. "Coach Harris Tsolis approached both me and my parents and told us that he believed that with proper and serious work, I could stand out in international events. So then I devoted more time to sailing and started working more seriously. I had never participated in a sailing race outside Cyprus [before 2017], so I could not even imagine that two years later I would qualify for the Olympics."
