As a veteran Screen Actors Guild Actress and Model, you’ve seen Eleni in campaigns for Apple, Garnier, Google, L’Oreal, Tresemme, IT cosmetics, IKEA, Electrolux, Carnival, Cover Girl, Kraft, and Johnson & Johnson just to name a few! You’ve also seen her in the pages of publications like Good Housekeeping and Dr. Oz Magazine and on the screen as Debbie (Steve’s girlfriend) in Sex and the City. During the height of COVID-19, she saw an opportunity to give back to her community and became a certified elementary school teacher. Working at a variety of elementary schools in New York City, Eleni saw how storytelling can provide a playful platform for students to learn about important topics and share their experiences in a safe space. This encouraged Eleni to fulfill a lifelong dream of writing a children’s book. This children’s book adventure started for Eleni over eight years ago, when her two enthusiastic boys, Zen and Billy (ages nine and seven at the time), inspired her to write her stories down and share them with the world—even if it meant printing them out on a copy machine and passing them out at a lemonade stand in front of their house in Astoria, Queens. Eight years later Eleni is the proud author of The Kids We Love Collection. Through each book, children learn lessons about gratitude, self-reflection, problem-solving, empathy, kindness, and inclusivity. The series gives parents and fellow teachers tools and resources to actively and organically engage with their kids. Eleni has traveled the country to share her story with elementary school children from the East Coast of New York to the West Coast of Montana. Website:
