What I'm looking for

I am seeking public service interpreting or customer-facing roles where I can support vulnerable clients in mental health, social care, or medical settings, using bilingual skills, empathy, and strong confidentiality practices.

I am a bilingual Greek-English public service interpreter with experience supporting vulnerable individuals across mental health, social care, and medical settings.

I have provided live interpreting for emotionally charged appointments, maintained strict confidentiality, and used Excel and web-based tools for accurate record-keeping. I bring proven crisis-management skills, rapid rapport-building, and DBS clearance for work in social care environments.

Complementing my interpreting work, I have customer-service and supervisory experience that sharpened my conflict resolution and reception skills, and I am motivated to continue helping diverse communities access essential services.
