Bio

I was born in Italy.

I graduated in Modern Foreign Languages and Literature at the University of Genoa (Italy), languages studied: English and German).

I taught Italian to foreign students at the International Center "Mystici Corporis" of Loppiano - Incisa Valdarno (Florence - Italy) for three years.

I lived for 17 years in Pakistan where I got a Diploma in the Urdu language at the Oriental College - University of Punjab (Lahore - Pakistan),

I taught English at the Catholic Seminary (Lahore Pakistan) for three years, and work on a contract at the Italian Embassy in Islamabad for 15 years.

After more than 17 years of living and working as a freelance translator in Canada, I prefer translating from English into Italian and vice versa.

I am a member of ALTA (American Literary Translators Association) - USA

I specialise in translating literary and scholarly texts with proficiency and intellectual depth. My main areas of expertise are: philosophy, religion, history, anthropology, and sociology 

Being a Certified Aromatologist I also specialise in holistic health and cosmetics.

I translated a variety of texts, including:

• Novels

• Dissertations

• Academic Articles/research papers/books

• Holistic health articles

I can handle and master any assignment with dedication, accuracy and excellent customer's service. Feel free to contact me for a timeline and cost estimate (rates may vary depending on the type of document).
