About me

I am a real professional translator and interpreter, not a fly-by-night dilettante.
I have been working in this business for fifteen years, building up a remarkable professional experience, and keeping my long term clients satisfied with the service I have provided them with through all these years.
I know it may sound arrogant and aggressive, but it is about time to state it clear and strong: "You get what you pay for."
It is humanly impossible to produce a quality translation or interpretation service while being paid a miserable rate. If someone is willing to work for you at a low rate, stay assured that you are going to receive a bad service, from someone which is not a professional and cannot guarantee a satisfactory quality. What you may seem to save now, you will have to pay sooner or later in other ways.

Remember, translation is a service, not a product. That's why it is not a good idea to ask for discounts on volumes. That's why it is a good idea and it pays back to use a professional.

Feel free to contact me any time to discuss your translation or interpretation needs.


Fifteen years experience as full-time freelance translator and proofreader for literary and technical texts

Conference and Liaison Interpreting in USA, Italy and Israel.
