The Philo4Thought Hellenic Professional Mentoring Initiative presents the November 2014 “Young Professional of the Month” Feature Article! The goal of our publications is to provide positive, successful role models who will inspire the next generation of young professionals. A preliminary criterion for #YPM candidates is their active engagement in an entrepreneurial initiative or career path. Candidates are typically of Hellenic origin and part of a philanthropic, humanitarian or environmentally conscious field. The most essential qualification they have in common, however, is the spirit and compassion to persevere, and the heart to share their knowledge and experience with others.

We are very pleased to present this month’s YPM, Evangelia Psarakis, who we encountered while scouting for new talent to feature on our affiliate page Greek Music Fan Club. Upon hearing Evangelia’s music, we immediately reached out to the young performer and were delighted with the story of her journey towards personal and professional fulfillment as both a musician and an educator.
