Bio
Born and raised in Chicago, I earned two Bachelor's Degrees at UIC (History of Art, Architecture and Urban Planning and Psychology) in 1982. I worked for many years in the print production industry in all phases, from copywriting and revising to page layout and advertising. I moved to Italy in 1989 and earned a degree in Art Restoration from L'Istituto per l'Arte e il Restauro in Florence, and besides being a freelance translator, I restore paintings and wooden sculptures under tutelage of the Fine Arts Ministry.

I have collaborated on many of the educational and tourist programmes for national, regional and local tourism and cultural entities. I have taught English at all levels and have organised conferences and public speaking events, including on several occasions serving as the simultaneous interpreter.

I provide accurate translation and revision of every sort of document (Word, PowerPoint, XL, pdf) with expertise and experience in many sectors, including: Commercial, Financial and Legal (corporate balances, contracts, legal documents for clients such as Novartis, Sandoz, Ciba Vision, Lloyds, Aquilex, Damiani, Bialetti, Aeroporti di Roma, IBM, Neri, etc.) general finance, banking, insurance, investment, real estate for clients such as AXA, Generali, Gabetti; Complete Tenders with specifications, offers, proposals, etc., for clients such as ENI, ATM, Veolia; Industrial and manufacturing (deviation reports, specifications, corporate communications, promotional, institutional, etc.) for a wide variety of industries, including, pharmaceutical, engineering, construction, mechanical, logistics, automotive, electronics, fashion, food production, shoemaking, textiles, telecommunications, energy, architecture, metallurgy, mining, materials, medical; Informative, including user manuals, catalogues, trade fairs, websites, etc., for corporations, institutions, universities, trade fair bodies, municipalities, etc. on a wide range of arguments including archaeology, architecture, tourism, culture, gastronomy, construction and infrastructure, energy, communication, technology, agriculture, marketing, etc.; Journalistic and general translation, including the magazines of Il Sole 24 Ore (Italia Più, Platinum, Italiè), the press releases and advertising of many companies and market research agencies, psychology, social sciences, philosophy, political science. Prose and Poetry.

I have translated for many of the clients of Expo 2015 and Expo 2011. I created the audio tours for the exhibitions of Fondazione San Carlo at Palazzo Reale in Milan as well as translating their catalogues and promotional material. I have done the same for the Ministry of Fine Arts and Tourism of Etruria, translating their interactive materials and websites. I have translated the museum catalogues and all promotional and visual materials for Firenze Card (the museums network of Florence). I have worked for the University of Urbino and the University of Florence, translating not only many of their publications and interactive materials, but also their materials for admission and liaison with English-speaking foreign students.
