Gerasimos Stavaris
I am a current high school senior 
at East Syracuse Minoa Central High School through the FLEX Program. My background includes hands-on experience in managing a family-run market and participation in various Civic-related 
programs, such as the Civic Education Workshop (sponsored by the State Department) as a Digital Ambassador. Fluent in Greek, English, Russian, and French, I bring strong communication skills and a global perspective 
to everything I do. My commitment to responsibility and cross-cultural learning reflects my drive to excel in diverse environments.
