About Me

9 out 10 global consumers will ignore your product or service if it’s not in their native language. Localizing your products and services for global markets is a quick, cost-effective and powerful way to:

✔ increase your sales and profit potential
✔ boost global brand recognition
✔ drive international business growth

Why translate into Greek?

✔ widen your company’s reach to 14 million Greek speakers
✔ optimize your digital presence in Greek markets
✔ improved experience for your Greek clients and users

How I can help

✎ English into Greek Translation, Localization and Editing
✎ Localization Project Management (leading teams of Greek translators)
✎ Specialties: Software, Applications, Websites, Telecommunications, Life Sciences, and Technical Documentation

How I spend my days

► translating (20+ years of doing so daily, still love it)
► learning (anything related to languages, books, computer science, and more)
► networking (because learning from others)
► helping colleagues & everybody else (because good karma)
► participating in teams (either as a lead or a member; again, learning…)
► sharing (all the great things I learn and the resources I find mainly through blogs, podcasts and virtual events)

My background

Born and raised in beautiful Heraklion, Crete; studied and worked in the UK (Cambridge), France (Paris) and Germany (Cologne); worked and lived in Greece (mostly Athens) for another 13 years after my studies, then moved to Canada in 2014 (proud Canadian citizen since 2018). Always loved languages and knew I wanted to pursue a career as a translator since elementary school.

There, now you have plenty of fodder for small talk when we chat or meet :)
