I hold a degree in social work (BSW, MSSW) and a PhD in social work and social policy. I am an Assistant Professor of Social Work at the University of Nicosia, Cyprus. My research interests include old age, social insurance with focus on retirement pensions and how they affect quality of life of older people. Recent research activities have focused on happiness in old age in and out nursing homes and social reintegration of older people through group work. I have also participated in several research activities regarding asylum seekers in Cyprus with focus on the quality of life in a foreign country, the quality of services, as well as training to professionals on different cultures. Regarding my work experience this includes work with older people in senior centres and advocacy work for asylum seekers.
