I am a professional translator based in Pisa, Italy, providing translation services from English into Italian, with more than 10 years' experience.
In my career I have translated a wide range of technical manuals, user's manuals, marketing and commercial documents (brochures, catalogues, company newsletters, etc.), press releases, product guides, presentations, web sites, etc., working both for direct clients and translation companies worldwide.
I specialize in the industrial automation (motion & process control, sensors, PLC programming, operator interfaces, industrial computers, I/O products, motor management, drives, etc.) computer hardware/software, electronics, networking, test equipment, social studies, marketing and sports fields.
I have a Degree in Foreign Languages at the University of Palermo (Italy) and I specialized in Applied Linguistics at the University of Pisa, Italy.
I have started my career as a translator working for the University of Palermo and translating English and Spanish literature-related articles for the Istituto di Letteratura Anglo-Americana.
In 1988 I started my own business and created a language center providing foreign language courses and translation services. I established working relationships with private companies and public institutions, both in Italy and abroad, and with other Italian translation companies.
I also obtained teaching certification and worked as English teacher in many Italian State Schools, attending many training courses in England, Ireland and Scotland.
In 1996, I was hired by a translation agency, The Corporate Word (later Language Management International and then Berlitz GlobalNet), Pittsburgh, USA, as in-house technical translator and Italian linguist.
From 1998 to 1999 I have been working as in-house technical translator for Allen-Bradley in Cleveland, USA, and then as Customer Communication Localization Specialist for Rockwell Automation, a world leader industrial automation company, in Milan, Italy.
I'm a member of the Tuscany regional committee of the Italian Translators and Interpreters Association (AITI).
