Maria Angelopoulou
Project Manager, Teacher, and trainer in Athens, Greece
Organizer of People and Resources
I am an teacher holding a MSc in Human Resources Management. Since 2011 I have been working in different roles both in Education & Human Resources Management, like Recruitment Consultant, Ed Project Manager, Teacher, Human Resources Professional etc.
Since 2013, I have been collaborating with a non-profit mentoring organisation named Job-Pairs. My role is to engage the organisation into challenging projects and expand its social impact. During the past years, I have managed impactful mentoring programs for more than 1.500 unemployed young graduates and engaged more than 40 partners into volunteering in order to boost employment in Greece.
Additionally, I am working full-time at a Greek primary school helping students to develop a love for learning.
Some years ago I organized the TEDxKids@Ilissos, the first TEDx initiative for kids in Greece. I led a team of 22 young professionals and I was responsible for the overall operation of the event.
I am passionate about people and change. I love pizza and smiling to strangers.
