Background

Born to an English-speaking mother and an Italian-speaking father, I transitioned from a humanist to a business student and eventually evolved into a linguist. Bringing over seven years of expertise in the translation industry and boasting five years of in-house experience in sales strategy and reporting metrics across diverse sectors such as CRM data management, fintech, social media, automotive consulting, and recruitment, I am a seasoned freelance translator and language consultant. As a native speaker of English and Italian, with a fluent command of Spanish and an excellent comprehension of German, I provide clients with a comprehensive portfolio encompassing six language combinations. Based in the vibrant city of Granada, Spain, I'm ready to help you navigate the nuances of multilingual communication.

How can I help you?

Looking to amplify your brand presence worldwide or enhance market reach? Whether it's translation services for regulatory compliance, a legal agreement, a compelling content writing strategy or an engaging website copy—I specialise in crafting comprehensive linguistic solutions tailored to your specific needs.

I possess an in-depth understanding of regulatory frameworks in Italy and Spain, complemented by nuanced familiarity with those in Germany and the United States, ensuring my ability to interpret the language of diverse fields such as financial compliance, data protection and privacy, occupational health and safety, banking regulation, and legal concepts, among others. As a dedicated advocate for plain language, my translations are consistently characterised by intelligibility, precision, and unequivocal clarity. I am well-versed in technical translations, and handling materials such as product catalogues, user manuals, patents, and quality specifications, focusing on accuracy and coherence. Furthermore, my proficiency extends to marketing translations, covering press releases, website translation, brand localisation, and event materials.

Opting for a remote freelance service provider not only saves on agency costs but also ensures a single point of contact. Expect prompt feedback and responses within less than 20 minutes, fostering direct communication without intermediary filters.

“Translators translate context. We use analogy to recreate significance, searching for the phrasing and style in the second language which mean in the same way and sound in the same way to the reader of that second language. And this requires all our sensibility and as much sensitivity as we can summon to the workings and nuances of the language we translate into.”
- Edith Grossman, Why Translation Matters

“A good translation offers not only a reproduction of the work but an interpretation, a re-presentation, just as the performance of a play or a sonata is a representation of the script or the score, one of among many possible representations.
- Mark Polizzotti, Sympathy for the Traitor: A Translation Manifesto

“La conclamata "fedeltà" delle traduzioni non è un criterio che porta all'unica traduzione accettabile [...]. La fedeltà è piuttosto la tendenza a credere che la traduzione sia sempre possibile se il testo fonte è stato interpretato con appassionata complicità, è l'impegno a identificare quello che per noi è il senso profondo del testo, e la capacità di negoziare a ogni istante la soluzioe che ci pare più giusta.

- Umberto Eco, Dire quasi la stessa cosa
