What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote opportunities in linguistic quality assurance, translation, localisation, AI language evaluation and content editing.

At PARK4NIGHT, I reviewed and refined over 290 Italian translations for the website and mobile app, improving accuracy, terminology consistency and clarity for Italian-speaking users.

Since 2012, I’ve taught English and Italian across classroom and online settings in the UK, Spain and Italy. I’ve also developed learning materials and assessments, prepared learners for Cambridge, IELTS and LanguageCert exams, and worked as an English and Italian examiner for the Basque Government.
