About Me

How I got here

I studied conference interpreting at Forlì and then Trieste, then worked across whatever came my way, building up specialist knowledge in fashion, jewellery, and wine over time. I've been doing this for over fifteen years now, and the subject knowledge I've built up alongside the languages is what makes the difference in the booth.

My Approach

Philosophy

Invisible

I'm there to let the conversation flow, not to be noticed.

Precise

Technical specs, negotiating positions, and brand stories all come through intact.

Discreet

Confidential conversations remain private

A Note

On Confidentiality

Much of my work takes place behind closed doors: private negotiations and sensitive discussions where discretion matters. The nature of interpreting means I'm often present for conversations my clients would rather keep private. I take that trust seriously, which is why you won't find a long list of client names here.
