Bio

Diploma in Translation (Dip Trans, Social Sciences, Literature) Fully chartered member of the UK Chartered Institute of Linguists (MCIL CL) and twenty years’ experience as an Italian to English freelance translator and proofreader, specialising in history and humanities, social sciences, tourism and food and wine.

As an Oxford University history MA, I translate and revise academic and essays, articles and books in the history, humanities and social sciences fields for a number of Italian universities and my recently published work includes: Fascination With Violence in Contemporary Society: When Crime is Sublime, Oriana Binik, Palgrave, 2019; A History of Digital Media, Gabriele Balbi, Paolo Magaudda, Routledge, 2018, Igor Sotgiu, Psychology of Autobiographical Memory, Palgrave, 2021 and Marco Marzani, The Chaste Caste, Routledge, 2024. I have also recently translated articles for international think-tanks such as Istituto Affari Internazionali in Rome and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.

I translate widely in the tourist sector, primarily websites, newsletters and social media posts, and have wide-ranging experience in translating flora and fauna, history, art and architecture, food and wine and sports tourism related texts.

Another frequent translation area is the arts and literature, in which I translate and proofread articles and essays, websites, museum information panels and exhibition catalogues on a frequent basis, with recent jobs including acting as part of a team of translators working on the art, architecture and history sections of the Treccani Encyclopaedia and translations for museums and conferences via translation agencies, including the Venice Biennale Teatro catalogues and webpages and a British Museum exhibition.

With wide ranging wine and food expertise, including level 2 sommelier qualifications, I also frequently translate and interpret for translation agencies, principally restaurant and vineyard websites, with recent work including translating Italian Master of Wine exams.
