Bio

In love with music, literature and art, I graduated with highest honours in modern languages and literature without ever neglecting my passions, including singing and intercultural communication. Over the years I have developed extensive experience as an interpreter and translator working for international events both in Italy and abroad, for companies and non-profit organisations. I have advanced skills in English and Russian, which I have studied at university level and currently teach in state secondary schools and at university. During my university studies, I had the opportunity to spend a year in Russia, where I was able to deepen my knowledge of that country's language and culture, actively participate in conferences and writing competitions, and win several writing awards. The whole experience abroad allowed me to gain a broader view of the world and to develop my ability to adapt to new situations. My passion for foreign languages and literature is also reflected in my current work: it allows me to provide a broad perspective on how marketing messages can be adapted for a global audience. Furthermore, my knowledge of foreign literature and culture helps me to have a creative and adaptive approach, so that I can come up with new ideas and innovative ways to communicate the company's message. I am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to develop my skills and continue to grow professionally.

An idea worth spreading

“Non so quando, ma so che in tanti siamo venuti in questo secolo per sviluppare arti e scienze, porre i semi della nuova cultura che fiorirà, inattesa, improvvisa, proprio quando il potere si illuderà di avere vinto.” GIORDANO BRUNO

The TED story

My ted story is about failure: the first step towards new beginnings, the first stride towards finding the right path.
