My name is Chara Zymara and I was born in Cyprus. I have studied Political Sciences at the Aristotle University<br />

<strong>of</strong> Thessaloniki and have obtained my MSc in <strong>Europe</strong>an Political Economy from the London School <strong>of</strong> Economics<br />

and Political Science. Having completed my educational studies in 2011, I returned to Cyprus,<br />

where I pursued a career in journalism. I have worked as Economics/Business editor for<br />

Kathimerini newspaper from January 2012 to March 2013. In the meantime, I was also working<br />

as Supportive Administrative Staff for the Faculty <strong>of</strong> Social and Political Science <strong>of</strong> the<br />

opportunity to work as a fixer for the french news agency ARTE and the British BBC, with<br />

whom (ie BBC) I have established a partnership as freelance journalist specialized in Cyprus<br />

issues ever since.
