PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Freelance translator.
I've been working as a freelance translator for the past 12 years. My specialization and passion is tourism and travel. I have an in-depth knowledge in this field having worked as a travel consultant for the past 12 years, first in Italy and now for one of the largest travel agencies in California.
In my profession as a translator and travel consultant it is essential to be prepared, focused and prompt. My main goal is to get the job done, do it well and within the deadline.

2004 - present time: Travel consultant at Travel Leaders/Your Travel Center, California.

1997 - Dec 2002: Travel consultant at I Viaggi del Pentagramma, Genzano di Roma, Italy.

For any topic from travel brochures to guidebooks and anything in between, including art, history, cooking and culture, I deliver accurate translations done in a timely manner.


I translate in the following language pairs:
English> Italian


My rates vary according to the length and subject of the text to be translated, and the time limit I am given to complete the task.
For urgent assignments I usually charge an additional 30% to my regular fare. I never start any task before having received a PO (Purchase Order) from the outsourcer/client. Please feel free to contact me for further details.
