Bio:

Born and raised in Modena, Northern Italy. I am based in Austria on the German border, but I still spend overall 1-3 months in Italy a year as well as some time in English-speaking countries (up to a month overall).

I discovered my gift for languages in 1993 - when I had my first English lessons -; then I started my "career" as a translator in 1996: for five years, I translated almost every day from Latin and Ancient Greek into Italian. At the same time, I started to work on my first digital projects ever, and also took part in the Model European Parliament (1999 Regional Session in Bologna and National Session in Naples; 2000 International Session in Lisbon).
In these lines I have already described the most pivotal experiences for my professional development... however, it does not stop here!


I later completed a BA in International Relations (Faculty of Political Science) at the University of Bologna and a MA in Analysis of Conflicts at the University of Modena (Faculty of Humanities). This means I have a solid background in business and economics, constitutional law, political science, history, sociology and languages.


As a researcher, I focused on comparative analysis of cultural, social, economic and political structures first, and later on history of medicine, healthcare, and science. I took my first translating and consecutive interpreting jobs in 2002 in order to partially fund my BA and MA .Then I continued taking a few projects here and there beside my research and teaching duties.

I then started professional training as a translator, language teacher (Italian/German/English as a foreign/second language), and interpreter.

I have worked in several roles and lived in Italy, Austria, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

Now I am concentrating on language services only (language teaching/training/coaching, translating, consecutive interpreting, intercultural communication training).
Besides, I went through different job-related training courses in all three languages I speak (Italian, English, and German): workplace safety, marketing, sales, customer service. And, of course, training and certifications in fields such as language teaching, translating, interpreting, training, rhetoric... further certifications are planned as well.

I am a member of the Chamber of Commerce of Salzburg, Austria, and of CIOL.
