My Background

Personal Profile

Growing up bilingual, speaking French and Italian, I was able to develop a flare for languages. I learned English thanks to the World Wide Web and German, as well as Swiss German, when I got my first job in Bern right after my vocational training ended. 

​

I have been active in the insurance sector for ten years and have developed a vast vocabulary of the sector in multiple languages.  

​

My degree introduced me to all aspects of the language industry and pushed me to practice translating and subtitling, as well as how to use different kinds of CAT-Tools.
