About me

I'm a professional English/Italian Italian/English translator. Although my native language is English, being of Italian background has enabled the Italian language to be, to a great extent, like my other first language. Throughout my life, I was able to spend quite a bit of time in Italy. I have studied Italian from the time of my childhood and as a result I am fully bilingual. I have a certificate in Italian Translation awarded by the University of Toronto Continuing Studies department. The course through which I acquired this certificate requires individuals to translate documents (from English to their respective target languages) that have been translated previously by professional translators in the actual workplace. The subject matter of these documents relate to the fields of travel & tourism, finance, human resources, government, film & commerce. I also have a certificate in interpretation awarded by COSTI Immigrant Services.


My professional experience includes translating lyrics to songs and material relating to the travel & tourism field (from Italian to English and English to Italian). I completed a website translation job for the Esoteric Society, I translated a career book, No Canadian Experience, Eh? by Daisy Wright of the Wright Career Solution (www.thewrightcareer.com) from English to Italian which was a major accomplishment, a public service announcement (English to Italian) that aired during an Italian tv program (OMNI News), a resume translation for a software developer (English to Italian ), a technical translation (Italian to English) for an Italian manufacturer of yachts (RIVA), and have done translation and interpretation work for a local immigrant services organization called COSTI (www.costi.org). I also have years of experience in the promotional products industry where the majority of clients (95%) speak Italian. As a result I have had to speak the language as well as translate certain promotional pieces.


* I also speak the dialect of the Italian region of Abruzzo.
