Calliope Sofianopoulos, founder of Metaphrase, is a bilingual professional with extensive experience in Greek and English Translations. After completing her Primary studies in Melbourne, Australia and her Secondary and Tertiary studies in Athens, Greece, Calliope began a Teaching career in 1986. A registered teacher of English as a Foreign Language with the Greek Ministry of Education, Calliope later studied Modern Greek through a Bachelor of Arts course at La Trobe University in Melbourne. In 1992 she  was accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators & Interpreters (NAATI) at the Professional Level (Level 3 Translation - Greek↔English) before returning to Greece in 1993.
