Bio

I am a qualified conference interpreter (SSLMIT, University of Trieste, 1998). I have two Master's degrees (MA, Freie Universitaet Berlin and MAS, ETI, University of Geneva). I have been working as a professional translator since 1996 and as a conference interpreter since 1999. During my stay in Berlin I worked as a full-time in-house translator for two international law firms. My expertise focuses on legal, EU, political, human studies texts, as well as technical manuals (esp. paper industry and hoisting equipment manufacturers).

From 2005 to 2011 I worked as a contract teacher at the Department of Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpretation, Ionian University, Corfu, where I taught consecutive and simultaneous interpreting English-Greek. Since 2011 I have been training conference interpreters on a freelance basis (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, LabIdea), as well as court interpreters (Hellenic Association of Sign Language Interpreters) and community interpreters (SMA, Solidarity Now).

Since 1998 I have being working as an interpreter for the Hellenic Parliament, Ministries in Greece and Italy, EU programmes, banks, TV channels, works councils, BOD meetings, multinational companies in simultaneous and consecutive mode but also as a liaison and court interpreter. I have over 1100 days of conference interpretation in my portfolio.
