I am a native Italian speaker, graduated in Foreign Languages and Literatures and technically qualified thanks to a Postgraduate course in ENG>ITA Specialist Translation, which handed on me precious knowledge tools to improve my skills in translation approaches. Having worked in different areas, I was able to enrich my language skills as a translator, using them on the field, especially tourism/travel and technology/environment ones. For 7 years I worked part-time in the renewable energy industry, acquiring a considerable knowledge of peculiar terminology. During the above-mentioned course in specialist translation, I worked very hard on biomedicine domain to gain an accurate methodology allowing me now to deal with its particular texts; since then I'm constantly delving into this attractive field. Fully aware of the multifaceted nature of the Italian language, I'm constantly aspiring to convey the specific message from the source to the target text, through continuous researches and lifelong studies.

I have been working for more than 6 years with agencies that won the last EU call for tenders, therefore I have a variety of terminological resources an access to several specific databases. So far I have translated thousands texts for EMA, ECHA, EFSA, EASO, ECDC, EMCDDA, EUIPO, ELA, EEA and CHAFEA agencies.
