About me
native English speaker available to translate, interpret and edit Italian->English and Slovak->English



EDUCATION


* MA in Museum Professions with specialization in Exhibition Management from Seton Hall University -- South Orange, NJ, USA -- ABT, anticipated 2010
* BA in Italian Language and Literature and Art History from Seton Hall University -- South Orange, NJ, USA -- August 2007
* International Baccalaureate Diploma completed at Vincentian Academy-Duquesne University -- Pittsburgh, PA, USA -- May 2004


TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETATION EXPERIENCE

At present, I am a full time translator with a diverse range of experience, including:

* financial and legal documents
* university transcripts and diplomas
* academic texts
* business proposals related to real estate development
* website localization
* personal correspondence
* medical transcription

I work well under pressure and can deliver a quality result while still meeting the deadline. I also take pride in delivering a well-formatted document, so that my clients and/or project managers don’t need to waste so much of their valuable time on formatting and layout.

Though I do it less frequently, I am also available to provide simultaneous interpretation Italian⇔English and Slovak⇔English, with experience mainly related to museology, history, tourism and genealogy.
