Biography

Iliada Spyrou has a BA in Psychology. She graduated from European University Cyprus in 2011. She was the president of Psychology Club from 2008 - 2010. She is currently the coordinator of Safer Internet Helpline.

All through high school and undergraduate years she worked hard; and she was setting high goals for her future. Iliada was the president of the Psychology Club of her university. She worked with other students in the committee to bring up new activities for the psychology major students and help them to enrich their knowledge through different seminars and workshops. Her motivational and communication skills were really helpful for her position.

She loves Psychology classes but her favorite ones were the ones focusing on children’s development, for example; Developmental Psychology, Educational Psychology, and Child and Adolescents Psychology.

Iliada likes challenges, too. She really likes to have challenges in the university and in her life in general. She had a lot of challenges throughout her four years in the University. She had to study and maintain good grades but at the same time was given a lot of opportunities from outside of school, like seminars and workshops in Cyprus and also abroad. She combined studying and other activities, resulting in developing a stronger character.

She used to participate in swimming and gymnastics but now does not have the opportunity and time to do very much of it.

Iliada was able to attend the Grammar School, a private high school in Limassol. To qualify, she had to work hard in order to pass on to the next level. It was difficult for her because she transferred to Grammar School at the sixth grade from St. Mary’s School. Once she graduated she said that, “When you are motivated academically, it really does make you stand out from the rest.” This has certainly been true for Iliada!
