Δήμητρα Κωνσταντάκη
Υπεύθυνη Εθελοντών
Σπούδαζε στο Εθνικό Καποδιστριακό Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών στο τμήμα Πληροφορικής & Τηλεπικοινωνίας, ωστόσο από μικρο παιδί το πάθος της για την Ζαχαροπλαστική την έκανε να μεταβάλει τα επαγγελματικά της σχέδια. Παράλληλα με την σχολή ζαχαροπλαστικής ανακάλυψε και την νοηματική γλώσσα και αφοσιώθηκε στην εκμάθηση της, καθώς την έκανε να νιώσει μέλος της κοινότητας των Κωφών. Η ίδια είναι κάτοχος επάρκειας ελληνικής νοηματικής γλώσσας. Για 2 χρόνια συμμετείχε ως εθελόντρια στο Φεστιβάλ Κωφών (Deafestival) και ακόμα 3 χρόνια στο φεστιβάλ μουσικής (Ejekt Festival). Σήμερα εργάζεται εθελοντικά σε κέντρο ημέρας για άτομα με πολλαπλές αναπηρίες. Κατάφερε να συνδυάσει τις 2 μεγάλες αγάπες της, δημιουργώντας το δικό της κανάλι στο Youtube, απ' όπου και παρουσιάζει συνταγές ζαχαροπλαστικής στη νοηματική γλώσσα. Γνωρίζει άπταιστα Αγγλικά και πρόσφατα ξεκίνησε να μαθαίνει και Ισπανικά.
