Bio

I was eight years old when I first said a short sentence in a foreign language, realised that I had been understood and experienced the excitment of communicating with somebody from a different culture. Many years, jobs and qualifications after that day I still feel the same thrill.

After gaining a Degree in Classics from the University of Turin in my native Italy, I started to teach Italian as a Foreign Language, then moved to the UK where I still live with my bilingual family in a house by the sea, in South Wales. I gained an MA in Applied Linguistics (University of East Anglia) and an MA in Translation (Open University) with a final Extended Translation Project on tourism translation.

I have been working for different employers, such as the Open University and the International Baccalaureate Organisation, covering a variety of roles in the field of languages  (teacher, translator, examiner, author and trainer) all with one common aim: helping people to communicate across cultures.

My goal as a translator is to make cross cultural communication possible and easy in a world where the ability to communicate is an essential skill both for individuals and businesses.
