About Me
A Cultural Bridge Between Italy and the World

I knew I had found my calling as soon as I stepped off the plane in Italy. After six months studying in Siena, I was utterly captivated by the vibrancy of Italian culture - its rich history 🏛️, passionate people 🤌, mouthwatering cuisine 🍝. I realized my true purpose was to serve as a bridge, translating the essence of "la dolce vita" for audiences around the globe.
For the past 10 years, I've dedicated myself to this mission, helping Italians share their innovations, traditions, and “il bel paese” with the world. Whether transforming Sustainability Reports into crisp, accessible English or crafting lyrical descriptions of artisanal wine and fashion, I approach each project with the same meticulous care and deep appreciation for the nuances of Italian expression.
I now serve as Administrator of the Italian Languages Division for the American Translators Association and Secretary of the Northern California Translators Association, furthering my involvement in our vibrant professional community. I have also lent my voice to preserving Italian-American heritage, including translation of important historical documents and art history. Whether I'm working on a technical patent or crafting the perfect English caption for a stunning fashion editorial, I see my role as more than just a translator. I'm a cultural ambassador, a messenger of Italy's enduring elegance, and there's no place I'd rather be.
