About me

I am an English native speaker with two years of experience in translating from Italian to English in a range of fields.

I began accepting paid translation and proof-reading work on a casual basis whilst still at university, graduating a year later from The University of Manchester with a First in Italian Studies and a wide knowledge of Italian culture and history, consolidated by a year spent living in Italy.

After graduating, I was immediately offered a job in Rome at a translation agency which specialises in the fields of journalism, law, medicine and market research. After a short time I was appointed as lead translator, charged with ensuring output quality in all the company's translations.

I have returned to England to pursue a freelance career as I continue my studies. I will be taking the Diploma in Translation exam in January 2010.

In my translations, I always aim to offer the highest quality and have never missed a deadline. I collaborate with other translators and professionals in various fields in order to ensure that my translations are always exceptionally accurate and use the exact terminology employed in the field in question.

I have translated:

Legal: Contracts, court summons, company statutes, financial press releases

Medicine: Medical conference notes, administrative documents, patient information leaflets

Market research: Research reports

Journalism: articles and features to be published directly on the website of Italy's national news agency.
