Following a full scholarship to Harvard University (M.Ed), I worked at Boston University as the Research Manager for the Lab of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience - a role which allowed me to both demonstrate, and hone, my extensive research skills and my ability to identify and resolve methodological problems. I have been on a career break to raise my two boys, who are now of school age. During this time, I became interested in genealogy and tracing my own family tree. I extended my genealogical research further to include DNA and chromosome mapping. Through chromosome mapping I was able to identify (and verify with vital records) three previously unknown (and living!) half-siblings of my mother! I also identified the unknown blood-line of my great maternal grandfather, leading to over 40 (and counting) DNA confirmed 1st -6th cousin matches. Following these successes, I began searching for outside projects, most recently locating a previously unknown half sister of an adopted individual who was unaware he had any siblings and the previously unknown paternal line of an 82 year old 'war baby.' I have obtained hundreds of birth, marriage and death certificates, census records and probate records. I have methodically scanned countless electoral registers/poll books for the time consuming task of verifying spouses and addresses and I have spent hours proving (or disproving) the family tree branches of other people. I have successfully located adoption certificates and traced the service numbers of those in the military, securing many service records, naval records and ship records. I have tracked the immigration/emigration of many individuals and communicated with people all over the world, facilitating many new acquaintances in their search to locate their blood relatives. Tracing your lineage is time consuming - if you want to know your family origins and don't have time, I would love to put a tree together for you. Or maybe you are stuck at a brick wall? I would love the opportunity to see the information you have and facilitate you in moving forward (even more helpful if you have already taken a DNA test so that I can cross-reference matches to develop your line). I am a current member of The National Genealogical Society and plan to achieve my Certificate in Geneology by next year. I don't want to waste your time or mine - I do this because I enjoy it (a little obsessively actually), I'm really good at it and I want to help others on their genealogical journey. There are so many fascinating stories out there! Tell me your research question(s) - I will only take the job if I have strong confidence that I could achieve results.English

I currently work for a non-profit ministry as Outreach Coordinator and Administrative Assistant to the Executive Director. Our company has various well-established initiatives, as well as new initiatives that are growing. Within my role, I oversee many facets of the company, both with internal affairs and acting as contact person for interactions we have with institutions and individuals outside our company. I am a graduate of Hellenic College Holy Cross in Brookline, MA, having earned a B.A. degree majoring in Religious Studies and minoring in Ancient Greek, and a Masters of Divinity. During my four years of undergrad, I remained on President’s list and Dean’s List for academic excellence. I plan on continuing studies for a Doctorate of Clinical Psychology while working. I grew up speaking Greek and Spanish fluently, as my parents are first generation American Greek and Spanish. My mother is a native from Spain and my dad is Greek and Greek Cypriot. We have always only spoken Spanish and Greek in the house as a family. I guarantee accurate translation and editing, professional attitude, and deadline commitment. In addition to translation services, I offer tutoring for editing papers in English from a variety of subjects. - Most recently, I completed work as Spanish editor for Thinknetic’s two books on Amazon: Critical Thinking in a Nutshell (2023) and The Socratic Way of Questioning (2023). - I have tutored for five years live and remotely for Spanish and various subjects relating to English and literature at an elementary, middle school, high school, and college level. - I was hired to be part of the team of ten staff who run the CrossRoad Academic Institute.

The program serves about ninety participants per summer. As part of the staff, we create and run all activities and sessions for the duration of the program. As a staff, we personally edited and peer-reviewed twenty ninety-minute sessions we uniquely created as staff. - This past year while working for CrossRoad, I received funding to complete research to create an ebook, Mental Health and Orthodox Spirituality for CrossRoad staff, to be used by CrossRoad Inc. to train future staff on seven mental health conditions and how they can affect programming. - In 2019, I translated the four-star Amazon book, Growth Hacking: Strategically Grow Your Business Connections from Zero to 10K in 365 Days by Jess Tiffany, into Spanish. I also did the graphic design for the book. The English copy is available on Amazon. - While completing studies for my BA in Religious Studies, I was hired for a translation project of Charles Spurgeon's sermons from English into Spanish. I was also invited to work and contributed in the translation of the novel Serinda from English into Greek, the third volume in the Justinian and Theodora series by Daniel Cirignani. - Working as a beta app tester for a program that teaches English-speaking students Spanish, I have valuable experience in the field of language education for online platforms. - I was hired as proofreader for the children's biography I Am LeBron James, various other children's books on short stories and activities, translator from English to Greek for webpages and legal documents, translator from English to Spanish for a cookbook, author for articles on blogs of various subjects, and creator of product descriptions for various companies. I have 5 years’ worth of experience working for the office of admissions at at my university helping with phone calls for recruitment of new students, administrative work, and thanking donors of the school. Employed as an ambassador of my school for 6 years, I have been able to travel around the US to promote and speak about my school while leading youth retreats.
