Freelance translator with expertise in scientific and literary texts.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated freelance translator with extensive experience in translating scientific and literary texts from English into Italian. My passion for language and science has allowed me to work with prestigious publications such as “Le Scienze” and “BBC Science.” I also curate the Italian editions of scientific documentaries and films, ensuring that complex ideas are communicated effectively to a broader audience.
In addition to my translation work, I have served as a data manager and customer data controller for companies like Cosefin S.r.l. and CSB Associati S.r.l. My role involves meticulous attention to detail and a strong understanding of data management principles. I have also worked as a freelance editor for DataTV S.r.l., where I contributed to technical datasheets for major clients like SKY Italia and TIM S.p.A.
With a solid academic background, including a PhD in Physics, I bring a unique perspective to my work, blending scientific knowledge with linguistic expertise. I am committed to delivering high-quality translations and data management solutions that meet the needs of my clients.
