Celi Glastris
Berlin,Germany
Summary
I am a friendly, creative individual with a love for communicating with the public, whether that be through interviews, exhibition openings, gallery visits, doing people's makeup, or teaching figure skating. The work I love to do always comes back to people. I have an eye for beauty that I have learned from my studies of art and art history and from my work as an art journalist. I was also a competitive figure skater for fifteen years and the Junior National champion of Greece, which made me an incredibly hard worker, something I know I can translate into any workplace.
