Creative and technical translator with a focus on healthcare and marketing

About me

After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Translation at the University of Trieste, Italy, in 2015, I continued my studies in Paris, France, at its most known translation school, Sorbonne’s ESIT, where I obtained my Master’s degree in 2017.

In 2020, shortly after going solo and still living near Paris, I joined the French translators’ association, SFT, as well as my university alumni association, AAE-ESIT, where I find community, inspiration, and motivation among peers in the profession.

Hi, I am Sara

Nice to see you here! I’m an Italian translator and I specialize in healthcare, market research, and marketing. My role is to help you communicate effectively with your partners and clients who don’t speak your language. If you need your documents translated into Italian from French, English, or German, you’ve found the right person.

I know how difficult it is to manage complex projects and make sure everything is right. But you can count on me to deliver exactly what you need within your timeline, so that you can move on with what’s next on your checklist.

I am always training so that I can offer you the best service: to keep developing my skills, I have been studying varied subjects, such as medical translation, inclusive writing, transcreation, and SEO.

Since 2019, I work fulltime as a freelancer in my adoptive city in the outskirts of Paris (when I’m not on the road somewhere around the world).
