Gerasimos Stavaris
I am a current high school senior

programs, such as the Civic Education Workshop (sponsored by the State Department) as a Digital Ambassador. Fluent in Greek and English, and Intermediate in 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.
