Head of Events
My name is Alexia Dimitriou, I am a multilingual second year student currently studying towards my Bachelor of Laws. Having grown up in an international environment, I have always been interested in getting to know different people from different cultures, and as such I discover the broad inequalities that shrouds our world. From this, combined with my tendencies to perform critical analysis, I’ve not only developed a passion for Law but also learned a lot about myself and my abilities. Accordingly, my interest in developing my legal skills, but also professional skills have been deepened by interacting with the IE community, through events and joining clubs. Through the last few years I learned a lot from different individuals I’ve met through external professional opportunities, as well as within IE, that brought me to where I am today. I am continuously eager to grow and strive in each project I take part in, hoping to continue growing as an individual and as a professional.
