Eleni Pepona (translator)

(not rated yet)

Translation is the art of preserving the meaning, style and tone of written text between languages, in other words, carrying the soul of the writer across borders.

I started my early career as a young mathematician in academia. After graduating from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, with a degree in Applied Mathematics and Physical Sciences, I moved in the UK, completed a masters degree in Financial Mathematics and moved on to research the mathematical modelling of interconnected systems under a Marie-Curie fellowship. At the end of that journey, I turned towards the mathematics education world. I worked for an international mathematics education provider, Kumon, a company of Japanese origin, where I had excellent opportunities to travel the globe and work with people from different countries and cultures. It was in this role that I found my passion for languages and realised the power a translator holds in making or breaking the language barriers. Alongside other duties, I completed several translation projects from English to Greek. In the past couple years, I have moved on to gaining experience of the classroom mathematics world and I am currently the Head of Mathematics of an independent school in Hertfordshire. Alongside, I work as a registered translator. My main interests are in STEM related publications, mathematics education and languages.
