My language pairs are: Italian< U.K./USA English and USA English > Italian.
1954-1974 - Lived in Sydney, Australia. A graduate of the Metropolitan Business College. Because of my bi-lingual language skills I have always worked in areas that required both languages:
Previous employers in Sydney - Australia:
Laboratory assistant With Dr. Armand L. Kohen (Pathologist). Private pathology laboratory where I developed an interest in the medical field and a natural flair for medical translations.
DHA Annex Ltd. – a firm specialized in medical instruments – Here my interest in the medical field turned to instruments and their application, aids, prothesis etc. An interesting addition to the baggage of knowledge obtained thus far.
Thomas & Coffey Limited - A leading, ASX-listed supplier of specialized industrial services to the heavy industry, mining, manufacturing, defense, energy, healthcare and property sectors, that provides a comprehensive portfolio of construction, asset and facility maintenance, and process engineering services. A total change of field necessary to expand my knowledge and expertise in translations.
1974 – Departed Australia for Italy and Europe in general. I needed to expand my horizons and cultural background. Here I was hired to work for the U.S. Government, where:
From 1974 To 1983 – I Worked for a NATO military organization where, for the purpose of this curriculum vitae, I worked on bi-lateral agreements and Memorandums of Understanding, including preparation and translation. Various and other duties which in this case do not require mention.
From 1984 to Present – I am currently working in the Management Section of a prominent Embassy in Rome, Italy. The position entails various tasks, however for the purpose of this CV, a great portion of my work includes translations and interpreting.
From 1994 to Present – After my divorce, I began working as a freelance translator to help with the cost of raising two children as a single parent. I currently collaborate with EA Language Services, Rome, Italy (Director: Elena Axenova – Tel. 06.5624011) and Scripta di Guglielmo Persichini, Via San Quiriaco, 00122, Rome
