Educational Background

I graduated from the Ionian University in Greece in 2000 with a Bachelor in Translation with Greek, English and German and a specialisation in technical and financial texts. In 2004, a need for further development brought me to the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, from which I graduated two years later with a Masters in Chinese Studies.

Professional Experience

Upon my graduation from the Ionian University, I started working in the translation department of ATTIKO METRO in Greece, the company that designs and constructs the underground railway systems in Athens and Thessaloniki. Parallel to that, I also worked as a freelance professional on various fields of technical translation. In 2006, I moved to China and became the head of the English translation department of Beijing Xinhua InfoLink, a private media company that provides real-time news feeds on China's main industrial and economic sectors. My duties include reviewing, editing and translating as well as providing translator training. In addition, I work as a Greek language reviewer for software localization providers in Beijing and keep an open cooperation with the Beijing Foreign Studies University for delivering translation seminars to the students of the Greek Language Department
