| Checked in | Linda Thody Reliability Quality Professionalism Regatul Unit Native in engleză Freelancer | Interested in: meeting clients, meeting collaborators, discounted software Bio: I am English born but I lived in Italy from childhood, almost 40 years in all. My education was British, but I consider myself completely bilingual. I relocated back to the UK permanently in 2003.
On leaving school I trained as a translator/interpreter in Milan. Transl...ation was always my love and ambition, and I have been involved in this business, in one way or another, for 30 years.
I now work freelance full-time and I still love the job! The variety of it, the challenges and the "buzz" you get from re-reading a completed translation and ... actually feeling pleased with it. It's unrivalled on the personal gratification scale!
Please feel free to ask me for my CV if interested.More Less Message: Hi everyone! Ciao a tutti! :-) |
