Angeliki Katsaiti at Luz Del Mes Tri-Anthology


Angeliki Katsaiti
She was born in Patra (Greece) in 1975. She has a master degree in Management Business Administration (Technical University of Crete 2002) and a degree in Production Engineering and Management (Technical University of Crete 2000). Since April 2003 she has been working in Patra. Apart from her birthplace, she has lived in Chania (Crete), where she studied, and Athens, as a work place. Her personal interests involve traditional dance, traveling, reading and writing. The outcome of the latter is the participation in a group book publication about her home town. 
The experience of sharing inner thoughts was unprecedented. The fact that it is an outcome of fellow writers indicates the frame of living and working terms which characterize her.

The brush of the wind
drew white the waves of the sea
way back or forward?      

Η Αγγελική Κατσαΐτη γεννήθηκε στην Πάτρα (Ελλάδα) το 1975. Είναι κάτοχος μεταπτυχιακού διπλώματος ειδίκευσης στην Οργάνωση και Διοίκηση (Πολυτεχνείο Κρήτης, 2002) και πτυχίο Μηχανικού Παραγωγής και Διοίκησης (Πολυτεχνείο Κρήτης, 2000). Από τον Απρίλιο του 2003 εργάζεται στην Πάτρα. Εκτός από την γενέτειρά της, έχει ζήσει στα Χανιά (Κρήτη), όπου σπούδασε, και στην Αθήνα, ως τόπο εργασίας. Τα προσωπικά της ενδιαφέροντα περιλαμβάνουν τους παραδοσιακούς χορούς, τα ταξίδια, το διάβασμα και το γράψιμο. Αποτέλεσμα του τελευταίου είναι η συμμετοχή σε μια ομαδική έκδοση βιβλίου για την πόλη της, την Πάτρα. Η εμπειρία του να μοιραστεί τις ενδότερες σκέψεις της ήταν πρωτόγνωρη. Το γεγονός ότι ήταν ένα αποτέλεσμα συλλογικό, υποδεικνύει το πλαίσιο ζωής και εργασίας που την χαρακτηρίζει.
