I am a professional freelance translator. I translate from English and Spanish into Italian, my mother tongue.
In 2003 I graduated with honours in Translation at the Advanced School of Modern Languages for Interpreters and Translators, University of Bologna, Italy.
I later attended a postgraduate course in Medical and Pharmaceutical Translation and, since then, I have been working exclusively in the Medical and Pharmaceutical fields.
I am a member of AITI (Italian association of translators and interpreters) and an affiliate of the British ITI Medical & Pharmaceutical Network.
