About me


!!La Maga dei Bilanci!!Financial Statements Wizard!!La Maga dei Bilanci!!Financial Statements Wizard!!La Maga dei Bilanci!!Financial Statements Wizard!!


I have four years of in-house translating experience with two different Milanese investment banks.

In addition, I have four years of freelance experience in many fields, finance-related and non-.

I have also been doing some court interpreting here in Ireland with an agency called Interling.

Benvenuti al mio sito Proz! Welcome to my Proz site!

I am a Canadian woman who lived and worked in Italy for ten years. I was in Florence for five years, where I worked in various service industry jobs. Subsequently I moved to Milan and started a job as an in-house translator and editor for an investment bank, in their equity research department. There I obtained a hands-on crash course in both translating and finance--a sort of baptism by fire. When I regained consciousness, I moved to a kinder, gentler investment bank under renowned economist Alessandro Fugnoli.

Hitherto, I attended the Ryerson School of Journalism in Toronto, Ontario, where I took courses on copywriting, copyediting, advanced English, and learned other translation-friendly skills. In addition, I attended a French Immersion school in Toronto (Ecole Publique Gabrielle Roy) until the age of 13, thereby giving me a solid foundation in the French language as well.

Currently I live in Dublin, Ireland, and am in my final year of a four-year honours B.A. in Italian and History at Trinity College. In this way I am consolidating my profound knowledge of Italian language and culture whilst obtaining more traditionally academic experience in order to augment my skill set.

My hobbies include Italian history, scuba diving (BSAC-qualified Dive Leader, PADI-qualified Rescue Diver), underwater archaeology, watching historical documentaries and history-based movies, and travelling.

I have a reliable Dell computer and a Dell XPS M1330 laptop, and I use Wordfast, which is proving enormously useful. (Big ups and "salut mon ami!" to Yves.) My rates are variable (according to job volume), and I don't mind working on holidays and weekends as I'm a student.
