I am a native Italian Translator/Interpreter certified in the medical field. I was born and raised in Italy. I have a background in English Literature, French, and Spanish, where I graduated from a school in Milan with a Diploma in Foreign Languages. I lived and studied for 15 years in England and the U.S.A., acquiring a near-native fluency in English and deep cultural awareness. I earned my Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Translation from New York University School of Professional Studies, specializing in Advanced Medical Translation with a Certificate from S.S.I.T. Scuola Superiore per Interpreti e Traduttori. I completed the Medical Interpreter Certificate with Interpreters Associates, Inc. With over ten years of experience conveying messages across cultures, "Translation is not a matter of words only: it is a matter of making intelligible a whole culture." - Anthony Burgess.
