Biografia

Bio


I discovered a passion and talent for language as a child in St. Louis, USA, and I was also a precocious pianist and percussionist. After taking degrees from the St. Louis Conservatory of Music and Washington University, I published articles on Poe and the French Symbolists and began my performing career. In 1982 I was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship and began teaching English in France. I lived briefly in Germany and Switzerland, and I then obtained the position of tympanist of the Orchestra Sinfonica della Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI) in Turin, and have now lived in Italy for almost thirty years. Currently I am Solo Tympanist of the Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana and Lecturer in English Language at the University of Palermo. I have worked as a part-time free-lance translator since 1990.

Why you should work with me


I commit 100% to the projects I get involved in.

I provide high quality idiomatic translations, and have a broad vocabulary base and a keen sense of semantics and cultural context.

I am constantly working with deadlines and pride myself on punctuality and respect for others.

I enjoy my work.

I use a range of tools, including CAT tools, to increase productivity and ensure quality and consistency in my translations.

I consult regularly with experts regarding the technical issues in the translations I undertake.

I am innately curious, and seek to develop my skills and knowledge in different subject areas.
