About me
Civil Engineering and construction


I spent almost 7 years working for a building leading italian company with building yards in Germany. I was hired for my German knowledge and acted as interpreter at the various meetings and on the building sites as well as translator of all documents pertaining the various projects. I was also in charge of the on-site office as secretary and assistent to the project manager, administrative manager also kept contact with the legal and financial consultats of the society
I also worked for a short period as production secretary to the Getrag Spa, a company in the automobile branch producing gears.

Tourism


Soon after school, I started working as tourist guide and also accompanied students during their holidays abroad.
For 3 years I workd on cruise ships. I started as DTP and then I worked as International Hostess, taking good care of foreign guests on board. I translated for them the daily onboard news, all communications and announcements or speeches of the captain. I accompanied them during excursion, sometimes to translate, and assisted them any time they would need a linguistic help.

Translation and Intepreting


Since I left school, I've been working as negotiation interpreter at various fairs and translator.
For about 3 years I was an in-house translator for a linguistic agency.
I've been working as freelancer all thorugh my professional life, mostly for some companies belonging to Bari industrial area such as Nuov Pignone, Bosch, Magneti Marelli, IVECO, ect...
In January 2005 I decided to become a professinal freelancer and devote myself entirely to this profession.
