About me

University Degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures in 1987 (University of Torino, Italy), final mark 110/110 cum laude

Translating experience:

Yachting industry: catalogues, brochures, technical specifications, price lists, user manuals, contracts, ownership documents.

Transport: transport contracts, trasport documents

Business: letters, contracts, import/export documents, reports

Computers: manuals

Marketing / Advertising: newsletters, brochures, mailings. Worked 2 years as an in-house translator for a direct marketing company, translating direct mailings and advertisements from French into Italian

Tourism: brochures, web pages




Other working experience includes:

12 years in the yachting industry, specializing in sailing yachts, working with suppliers and customers from Germany, France and English-speaking countries.

4 years as a sales promoter for an online travel agency. This experience, similar to a franchising, involved marketing my personalized website (using Google Adwords and other similar tools) and dealing with prospects, thus allowing me to improve my familiarity with e-commerce, internet and advertising terminology

Accounting in Italy, UK and France. This experience in the early years of my career helped me to familiarize with the accounting terminology in my source and target languages, and above all it gave me the uncomparable opportunity of living in two foreign countries where my main target languages are spoken.
