Ourania Efraimoglou

About me

I'm Ourania – a visionary, connector, and creative strategist passionate about turning ideas into impact. I founded the Hellenic Students' Community at UCLA to bring together Greek and Cypriot students, and currently oversee all Hellenic associations on the West Coast as Regional Director of the National Hellenic Student Association (NHSA), helping unite communities across universities and states.

Beyond community-building, I consult with nonprofits to strengthen their long-term sustainability and growth. I'm currently working with Waymakers, a nonprofit based in Orange County, CA, where I'm developing a comprehensive business plan for a new social impact venture. I also serve as Secretary General of the Foundation of the Hellenic World, helping to advance cultural preservation initiatives that connect Greece and the United States.

With a background in economics, mathematics, politics, and data science, I'm drawn to the intersection of policy, culture, and innovation. I thrive in roles where I can lead with both strategy and heart – and I believe in work that's meaningful, human-centered, and just bold enough to make a difference.
