Bio

Bi-lingual since cradle, at home we always were very sensitive of the importance of communication. I guess that is the reason that led me to study translation and to devote myself to this beautiful craft.

Translator by craft, gamer in my free time. I put the same passion in the gameplay and when I translate games. I remember how happy I was playing this and that game and I want to help others to feel the same. 

 It may seem strange to have such different areas of specialization, one may ask what law and finance have to do with video game localization. And, to be honest, on the surface, nothing at all. But it is the same curiosity that pushes my character to explore yet another dungeon, that pushes me to explore the fine letter and differences between common law and continental (Roman) law systems. I remember when I was at college and had my first class on common law that all of a sudden a lot of films, series and, yes, video games made sense. All the hearings, takeovers, mergers, etc., that I consumed in pop culture where clearer to me!

The same could be said about financial translation. I would say that in the world we live, where information on economy and financial markets intertwine with our daily lives, it is almost mandatory to understand a little of financial markets and how they may affect our lives.

To put it bluntly, the driving force that pushed me to translation was curiosity, that is undeniable. And thank's to that, now I can offer professional services of video game localization, sworn and legal translation and financial translation. And I couldn't be happier!
