I’ve always loved languages and how different and yet similar they are.

My mission is to get your message across the linguistic barriers.

As a linguist, I strive to make your text sound like a genuine Italian text, keeping the source message intact.

My working pairs are English to Italian, French to Italian, Japanese to Italian and Italian monolingual.

I regularly travel to the countries of the languages I work with, to actively use them and improve my knowledge of their culture and society.

I’m also a doula,
which means I help women transition to motherhood while providing physical and emotional support.

As a doula, I’m here for you, your baby and your partner (if you have one), striving to fulfil your needs, whether they be loading the dishwasher or holding your baby while you take a shower. Since I’m a trained interpreter, I can also interpret for you during doctor’s appointments, when dealing with bureaucracy, or if you just need a really good chat with someone who can understand you in your native or second language.
