Milan, Italy, is where I live, and it’s also where I earned my master’s degree in foreign languages and literatures (English and French) from the University of Milan. I am currently a sales manager for a multinational company, and I also work as a freelance translator. TED Translators has made me realize how amazing and rewarding it is to help spread powerful and inspiring ideas to people all across the world who don’t speak a second language. I strongly believe that communication brings people together more than anything else.

Translating could be compared to donating blood: you give a part of yourself to help someone in need. Words and Knowledge are as essential as blood and a translator is a 0-group donor.
