About Me

I'm an Italian girl just graduated with a Master Degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures with a final essay about "Human rights in the essays and autobiographical works of Wole Soyinka". During my academic career I worked as a waitress and as an Import-Export assistant (dealing with suppliers in India). I stayed six months in Denmark , participating in an exchange program called Erasmus, and I enrolled in a semester in the University of Copenhagen, Faculty of English and Romance Studies, where I learnt a bit of Danish.
I'm an advanced speaker of English, while I have an intermediate level of knowledge of Spanish...I speak a bit French and Danish too, but just for really simple conversations.

I'm passionate about

I read almost anything, from critical essays to fanfictions about serial tv, from fantasy to thriller!

Talk to me about

anything, I'm really open ;)
anyway, I'm fond of literature (ANY!) and linguistics, and if you want to talk about human rights, well, I'm here!

My TED Story

Just met Ted...and I asked to be a translator! I simply love this site and, sometimes, when I talk to my friends about the contents of a video, they are quite interested. Unfortunately some of them cannot understand the talks, since they're in English, so I thought I could spread the ideas myself, just by translating! :)
