My Story
My journey as a translator began over 20 years ago, driven by a passion for languages and communication. Born and raised in Germany-based bilingual environment, I always felt a natural affinity for languages, which led me to pursue a career where I could bring people and ideas together through words. After completing my studies in Spanish and French, I found my niche in the translation industry, specializing in legal, medical technology, and marketing communications translations.
Over the years, I have honed my expertise in a range of fields. From translating complex legal documents, including court cases like the Siemens trial before the Athens Court of Appeals, to technical manuals and clinical studies in medical technology, I've had the opportunity to work on projects that have challenged me and expanded my skills. I pride myself on my attention to detail, accuracy, and ability to adapt to the specific needs of each client and project.
Through my work, I have had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse array of clients, from international corporations to smaller enterprises, always focusing on delivering high-quality translations that resonate with their target audiences. Whether it's ensuring precise terminology in medical texts or capturing the essence of corporate communications, I am committed to providing translations that go beyond the words and truly convey the intended message.
