| | VictoriaMM Literary/Scientific Translation student Native in Spanish (Variant: Argentine) | |
| | | Bio: I am a secondary school teacher and a supposedly versatile tri-lingual freelance translator (English, Spanish, Italian).
Though experienced in technical and scientific fields, I increasingly find myself dealing with far more challenging translations of ancient prose ...and poetry. A blended expertise, thus, where interest in science technicalities, and love of literature seem to harmonize.
As a teacher, I develop my day-to-day lessons according to the latest techniques such as tasks, cooperative learning, grammar reflection, communicative method, conceptual maps, striving for a quite different approach from standard procedures.
As a freelance translator (English and Spanish) I’ve always combined fast response, precision, formal accuracy with the use of technology as a tool to increase my reliability.
I studied at the University of Trento (Italy), where I graduated in English and Spanish language. As a student, I spent extended periods abroad, the most relevant of which is a nine-months scholarship at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
In 1998 I worked as a tourist guide for The Vittoriale, the house/museum of the poet Gabriele d’Annunzio in Gardone Riviera, Lake Garda.
A few months later, I started my career as export manager for Fondital Group, an Italian worldwide leading company in the field of heating systems. I consequently spent long periods abroad across Europe, Middle East and South America, working closely with local customers and representatives, with whom I successfully led complex negotiations.
In 2002 I decided to get a master degree in Human Resources Management at HKE (Human Knowledge Europe - Milan).
From 2003 to 2007 I worked as a fundraiser for the Science Museum of Trento, establishing long-lasting and profitable relationships with Italian and foreign companies.
In 2007 I began teaching languages in secondary school and, since then, I've never stopped studying the latest and most effective methods of conveying knowledge.
At the same time I started a freelance translation activity. Nowadays, my portfolio ranges from translation agencies, to private and public companies and institutions.
In my free time I write, sing and play my music. Currently, I'm developing a bilingual blog named Compartiendo Tensiones / Sharing Tensions

| | | 18 years of experience |
| | | Bio: I have been translating from English and Spanish into French for more than eight years now. My diploma in Translation, obtained in 2004, qualified me for a post as a Translator for the Athens Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which has given me a... thorough knowledge of the journalistic writing style. After various experiences, including collaborating with the famous French publishing house Larousse, I worked four years and a half in the Paris office of a leading English translation company, SDL International, where I learnt to use efficiently different CAT tools, I improved my knowledge in localization and technical translations, and I acquired good computing skills. Then my career led me to the SDL Sheffield office where, as a Senior Translator and Line Manager, my main duties were coordinating resources, managing several team members and taking care of big, complex projects for accounts such as Marks and Spencer. While working with many other important clients including Adobe, Dell, Garmin, Nokia, but also Microsoft, HP, SAP, Canon, Sony, RIM, Orange, or Kodak, my specialization areas are IT, telecommunications, graphic editing, software localization, multimedia and marketing. Finally, I was able to draw on this invaluable experience to register as a Freelance Translator and I have been successfully working on my own since January this year.More Less |
