This is quite a story! My journey with SAE Athens started in October 2008. I joined as a student, excited to explore the world of audio engineering.

Two years later, I graduated. Soon after, SAE Athens offered me a role as Junior Supervisor. I accepted immediately and with great enthusiasm!

From 2010 to 2015, I worked as a Head Supervisor. In this role, I taught my first classes on basic audio engineering concepts. I also worked closely with lecturers in the Creative Media Industries. My responsibilities included managing facilities and supporting students. During this time, the campus moved to a much larger building, doubling in size. I also earned a Diploma in Digital Filmmaking. In 2015, I decided it was time for a change, so I left SAE Athens.

Leaving academia was a leap of faith. It forced me to step into the industry and grow. I learned to work directly with clients, manage teams, and solve problems. I also learned to communicate better, take opportunities, and accept mistakes as lessons. These experiences shaped me both professionally and personally.

But my connection to SAE Athens remained. Before long, I returned as an external lecturer. I didn’t teach full-time, but I taught often enough to share my passion for knowledge. This balance gave me the best of both worlds. I enjoyed teaching while also working as a freelance filmmaker on creative projects.

Since October 2022, I’ve taken the role of the Coordinator for the six-month Videography course.

Academic Topics I’ve Covered:

• Audio Engineering: Studio signal flow, Analogue & Digital mixing desks (Mackie, Yamaha, SSL), Basic mixing techniques, Introduction to sound theory, Digital Sound principles, and On-location recording.
• Film and Media: Mac OS X, After Effects, Web Video production, Cinematography, Digital Image theory, Interview filming, and Direction principles.
