Bio
I graduated in Foreign Languages and Literatures in 1988, and specialised in English, French, and Spanish. In Middle and High School I had Latin as a major subject, which gave me the ability to understand grammar and speech logic. Latin helps immensely to build up the concepts you want to express.
My thesis was about the processes involved in children's learning of the English phonological system. In 1999 I started a project called Green English, see:
Green English project,
which is still going on.
This led to the publishing of a series of 3 books for children, centered on CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning).
In parallel, I kept working as a freelance translator, mainly technical and scientific.
I have translated 25 published books including botany and gardening manuals, multimedia training packages on oil engineering, thrillers, books on yoga and oriental philosophy and teachings. Moreover, I have been working in marketing and export sales for various companies, which has made me confident in dealing with many different subjects.

I use SDL Trados, MemoQ, MemSource, Across.
With more than twenty years of experience, I have acquired a methodical but creative approach to texts, making a point of being accurate and passionate in helping people understand each other, both in interpreting and in translating.
My customers come back to me because they know that they can count on my seriousness and reliability.
