About

Professional summary

I am an analytical English Language and Literature graduate with more than 10 years of experience in linguistic assessment, translation, content creation, and education. I specialize in evaluating language quality, semantic accuracy, tone, coherence, and cultural nuance.

In my role as a Chief Speaking Examiner and Speaking Examiner, I have assessed thousands of non-native English speakers against rigorous international linguistic frameworks. I am experienced in applying strict evaluation criteria, maintaining quality standards, and delivering objective language assessments.

I bring strong expertise in English-Greek and Greek-English translation, literary analysis, and content development. My work focuses on preserving meaning, register, cultural context, and stylistic nuance across complex literary and media texts.

My academic background includes research on cultural representation, historical bias, trauma, identity, and otherness in literature. This perspective supports my ability to contribute to LLM evaluation, data annotation, AI safety, bias detection, and context-sensitive language analysis.

I also have extensive teaching, curriculum development, public speaking, and project management experience. I am available for remote freelance work with flexible hours and can contribute precision, critical thinking, structured communication, and multilingual expertise to language-focused AI and content projects.
