Profile

I have been working as a conference interpreter based in Germany for more than 20 years. I have considerable professional experience and have interpreted in a large number of industries. Thanks to my central location in Frankfurt and my flexibility, I am able to support my clients at their international events all over Europe.

Continuous further training and trips abroad ensure that I always keep my language skills and specialist knowledge up to date. I respect the confidentiality of my clients’ event content as a matter of course.

I see myself as an intermediary between two cultures: I have been living in Germany since 1997, but still feel a strong connection to Italy, my home country, which I visit often.
