What I'm looking for

I seek freelance or in-house roles combining translation, AI evaluation and localization, with opportunities to mentor, teach, and work on high-quality, technical content for multinational clients.

I am a multilingual translator and interpreter with over 25 years' experience specialising in business, finance, accounting, technology, marketing and patents. I have worked in-house for multinationals, managed translation teams, and regularly provide PEMT, AI prompt writing and AI output evaluation for large companies.

I am a certified Italian accountant who teaches and mentors aspiring language professionals, offers Italian tutoring, and presents on translation technology and professional development. My toolkit includes MemoQ, Trados Studio, MemSource, WordBee and MateCat, and I have a strong record in annotation, labelling, QA and patent work.
