Bio
Thank you very much for viewing my profile.


I am a native Greek Linguist holding a Diploma in Translation and a Diploma in Audiovisual Translation & Subtitling from the Hellenic American Education Center, a highly respected Greek educational institution.

I have translated, edited and proofread a wide range of documents for Greek professionals in varying fields, ranging from Engineering, Finance and Law to Marketing and Medicine.

I have been providing interpreting services for the NHS since 2016.

I am highly analytical, attentive to detail and passionate about delivering accurate and high-quality translations. Inquisitive by nature and keen to acquire new knowledge, I always conduct meticulous research to ensure that complex language structures, ambiguous terminology, cultural references and idiomatic language are conveyed as clearly as possible.

I am able to manage multiple projects and deadlines, work in remote teams in both a structured and unstructured work environment and build rapport with diverse professionals. 

I have volunteered as a Translator for Translators without Borders (TWB).
