Education

I graduated in interpreting and translation at the university of Udine (Italy), although my languages are Italian, German and English, I also translate from Portuguese (Brazilian).

I attended a semester at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin as an exchange student where I studied interpreting.

I attended an English course at the levels advanced and proficiency at the Redbridge College in Romford (England), duration six months.

My life abroad

I"ve never wanted to be a tourist and I consider myself a traveller; I"ve always tried to understand the culture of the places I visited and to experience their daily life. The world is huge, I"ll probably never see it all but for now I"m glad to have had the chance to live 9 months in England, 3 years in Germany, 1 year in Spain and 5 years in Brazil.

My experience as an in-house translator

I worked as an in-house translator for the international corporation Danieli & C. Officine Meccaniche SpA, leading enterprise in the steel and iron industry. During those 2 years and 8 months I became familiar with the translation of highly technical documentation such as: technical specifications of rolling mills, continuous casting machines, hydraulic plants, patents, drawings, contracts, electrics and electronics, legal documentation of various kinds etc., working from Italian into German and English (and vice-versa), from German into English (and vice-versa), from Portuguese into Italian and English.
