About me
Since 1997 I have been working as a freelance interpreter for German, Italian and multinational companies as well as Public Authorities and translation agencies.
I mainly have matured experience in chuchotage (whispering), business, and PSI interpreting.
Since 1998 I have been organizing corporate courses teaching German as a Foreign language(A1-C2), Italian for foreigners (A1-C2), and Business English (A1-C1)
In 2007 I started offering online courses so far in chat mode only through SKYPE.
In 2000 I integrated my interpreting services with translation and have since then successfully worked for mainly direct customers in Germany, Switzerland and Italy but also for some German and Italian agencies.
