I am a freelance translator, my passion for foreign languages and cultures has characterized my choices in my studies and later in my working life. I graduated in Translation and Interpreting at the High School for Interpreters and Translators. After completing my studies, I started working at an American multinational as a translator of technical and commercial manualistics in the air conditioning sector. I then supervised, stored and distributed the company’s documentation. The curiosity and the interest towards my professional growth have led me to a new work experience at a combined transport company Road–Rail, where I dealt with the management of international practices in insurance and litigation. I have been constantly and daily involved in technical - legal translations in the languages: Italian<>German, Italian<>French, Italian<>English and Italian <> German interpretation. Since 2012 I have been working as a freelance translator of technical manuals, books, videos and audio, web pages and subtitles. I have also dedicated myself to translations in the fields of personal, professional and spiritual growth, health and intuitive medicine and bio-energies, travel and tourism.

I would like to share the poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, because I found it a perfect metaphor for life, it is powerful and intense. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

I have found out about AMARA at a workshop, part of my Continuing Education program. The teacher told and explain us about AMARA. Soon I I contacted the AMARA Team as I wanted to become a contributor, and since March 2016 I have been a member TED International Community.
