Professional Summary
Deeply passionate about languages, since my early age I devoted my education to their study. In addition to English and French, my working languages, I have also studied Spanish and Russian. Over the years, while putting into practice what I have learnt starting to develop my translation activity I have also broadened my skills and knowledge working in areas other than those related to my studies. From the very demanding environment of high ranked tourist corporations where I had the opportunity to achieve a specialized certification in Sales and Marketing to the more complex environment of institutions where I improved my organizational, communication and management skills.
