My registration requires that every other year I submit to the State proof of having acquired a specific number of credits from courses in the field of law, ethics, or language.
I am now in the process of qualifying as a 1st Tier Registered Court Interpreter for the State of Oregon.

I have worked on the translation of a large franchising contract for a major US fast food restaurant chain; on a legal translation for a major Italian bank; and participated as a team member in the translation of a section of the Italian internal revenue service tax code.
I have translated a catalog for a major Italian supplier of electrical components as well as a market research for a well known hotel.

SKILLS
I am fully bilingual in Italian and English, spoken and written with a broad personal range of activities and experiences in both countries and also England.
As an avid reader and a writer my ability to translate is not limited to the areas in which I prevalently work.

Where necessary, I learn as much as is available about new clients and their products.
