TRANSLATOR

I am a native Greek translator, with a BA in English Language and Literature from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and an MA in Translation, Interpretation and Intercultural Studies from the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

I have lived in Greece and Portugal and since 2011 I have been living, working and studying in Catalonia, Spain, and have gained valuable experience in translation, subtitling, transcription, liaison interpreting and proofreading in various fields (some examples being legal, education, cinema, art, sports, travel, food and drinks).

I have a fairly deep knowledge of the Greek, English, Spanish, Catalan and Portuguese cultures and an even deeper curiosity to discover more every day.

My work is guaranteed to be professional, accurate, always respecting the deadlines and the principles of complete confidentiality.
