A little bit about myself
I live in Texas, but my roots are in small town near Venice, Italy. I was 29 years old when I decided to leave my comfort zone and move across the ocean to pursue a career and start a beautiful family.
But before that, in 2006 – the year of the Winter Olympics in Turin and the housing bubble burst – I completed my studies in Translation and Interpreting at the University of Trieste, Italy.
During college, I worked as an Assistent Export Area Manager for an Italian designer furniture company, where I was responsible for sales in the Asian market.
Immediately after graduating, I started offering interpreting services to the community of the U.S. Air Force base in Aviano, Italy, and negotiation interpreting services to local businesses. However, I realized soon that interpreting wasn't my cup of tea.
I decided to focus on translation and I started an important collaboration with a Miami-based language service provider who partnered with a true pioneer of website localization: MotionPoint. By the time I became a QA reviewer and team leader, I had 25 accounts under my belt.
My journey in translation continued with the admission to the Italian Association of Translators and Interpreters in 2011.
Today, I juggle between language quality assurance and localization project management, and I consider myself fortunate for loving what I do.
On a more personal level, my husband and I have an adorable 2-year old and a cute maltese dog. My life is a continuous back-and-forth between the U.S. and Italy, which I still and I always will consider my first home. I enjoy cooking, the outdoors, and snowboarding.
