Living in the US for the past few years, she has been making strides in the marketing field while building a new life full of challenges and opportunities.

However, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing. In 2020, Amalia was involved in a serious car accident while traveling with friends in Los Angeles. A reckless driver ran a stop sign and collided with their vehicle at high speed, causing it to flip several times. Amalia sustained fractures in two ribs and required surgery on her pelvis. Her mother, Jenny Balatsinou, was immediately by her side despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.

Despite these hardships, Amalia’s professional life has flourished. Currently working as a marketing manager in Los Angeles, she often travels back to Greece to visit her family. Amalia has shared that while it’s difficult being far from her loved ones, especially her siblings, she cherishes her life in LA and has built a close-knit circle of friends who make her feel at home.

In an exciting turn of events, Amalia recently shared her engagement with entrepreneur Jake Mendwell on social media. The 28-year-old posted a picture with her fiancé, showing off her stunning engagement ring. “More than I ever prayed for,” she captioned the photo, receiving an outpouring of congratulations from her followers.

Jake Mendwell, a successful entrepreneur and co-founder of 8VC, has built an impressive career in the investment and technology sectors. He was recognized by Forbes in 2017 as part of their “30 Under 30” list in the logistics category, cementing his status as an influential figure in his field. Together, Amalia and Jake are now embarking on an exciting new chapter, and their engagement marks the beginning of a bright future together.
