My name is Charlotte and I’m currently a Spring Media Lab intern here at CYA! I hail from New Hampshire and go to Brandeis University, which is outside of Boston. I have Celiac Disease, an autoimmune disorder that inhibits me from eating gluten. Ever seen that Jimmy Kimmel sketch on gluten? If you haven’t, feel free to watch it before continuing.

Throwback! Learning Modern Greek

My Greek teacher, Marinetta Papahimona, ever the inspirational woman that she is, keeps the faith. As we learn more Greek and start to turn on autopilot, droning on in our little dialogues about going to the beach on the weekend and ordering at a restaurant, we are more concentrated on the ink on the page than the substance of the conversation.

On the third floor of CYA, Tucked away in the library, is one of our best-kept secrets, Georgia Katsarou, our Academic Librarian. Since joining CYA in 2006, she has been the key person faculty and students go to for her expertise. Georgia is a goldmine of useful information regarding academic research and study. Born and raised in Athens, Georgia received her Bachelor’s Degree in Library Studies at the Technological Educational Institute of Athens, and her Master’s in Information and Library Studies at the University of Aberystwyth. She lives in Athens with her husband and their two children Marina aged 7 and Nikolas aged 4. In her spare time Georgia enjoys fiction and reading stories aloud to her children, but her unique talent is to create beautifully intricate embroideries that bring to life the beauty of the things that inspire her.

As a non-profit study abroad institution, we aim to help our students find as many options as possible for financial assistance.
