curriculum

I was born in Munich and grew up in Germany in a perfectly bilingual (Italian and German) environment. I attended junior and secondary school and university in Italy.

In consequence, I have two mother tongues and translate from German to Italian and vice versa. My pronunciation is natural and accent-free in both languages.

Currently, I live in Turin, although my habitual residence is in Munich, where I often return for business.

You don’t think it’s possible to be perfectly bilingual?

Just ask my satisfied clients in Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Austria!
