About me
I am native Italian recently moved from Genoa to Vancouver first and then to Roberts Creek, BC, on the beautiful Sunshine Coast.

My work experience as a translator started as a spin-off of my research work in German Literature, translating from German into Italian some works of the author I was dealing with. After a short experience as a teacher I started to work in companies operating in International fields, among which also a German multinational company. Some more details can be found in my résumé. As an in-house translator I had to cope with many language fields. A fascinating challenge to me and an appreciable opportunity to ask experts anytime I needed explanation to understand better what I was translating, and to acquire an extensive glossary both in German and in English.

My main areas of expertise, related to my past work experience, ranged from medical papers, sugar, mining & nuclear plants, waste water treatment, weighing systems, European research projects on transportation and advanced technology as well as railway certification terminology. My favourite fields of interest I would like to work on in the future are music, literature, medical research, naturopathy.

I am a Certified Member EN-IT of STIBC - Society on Translators and Interpreters of British Columbia, and I am currently working as Quality Manager/Proofreader for translations English/German-Italian.
