I am a qualified professional linguist with 6 years of experience and demonstrable professional successes in the language services industry, and provide primarily copy-editing, translation/localisation and proofreading services. I translate from Italian into my mother tongue, British English, and am a member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, the Society for Editors and Proofreaders and the Royal Society of Arts. As a passionate academic, I am concurrently preparing for a part-time PhD in Linguistics in 2013.!
