I am a Physician trained in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Perugia (Italy) and I have worked extensively at Weill-Cornell Medical College (New York, NY) as a research fellow. I have been active professionally in the medical field for over 6 years and have a number of published peer-reviewed manuscripts available on PubMed. My native language is English. I am fluent in Italian and Finnish. I have worked broadly in medical research and have been responsible for a number of projects involving translations from Italian to English and English to Italian. Please feel free to contact me for any further information regarding my services.
