WHO I AM


Having grown up in a family of bankers, after graduating as a translator I worked for Unicredit, where I began to translate balance sheets, shareholders’ presentations, press releases and legal documents. When I decided years later to set up my own practice, a specialisation in financial and legal texts was a natural choice. Today, twenty years on, my enthusiasm of the first hour has never left me, but has been enriched by the experience of translating thousands of pages into and from English and from Dutch.

HOW I TRANSLATE

A freelance translator is by definition accustomed to remote working, but this hardly implies a solitary existence. I look to expert colleagues to review my work, while for more specific technical terms and complex content I have a network of investment professionals and legal advisers I can always turn to. I can therefore guarantee translations of the greatest accuracy, precise and ready-to-use.
