Welcome.
I’m a German-Italian communications expert and writer, based in The Netherlands.
Thus far I spent big part of my professional life working for busy international technical projects: Daily communications, coordination and collection of input from project members, producing project status reports. Interpreting during company or project meetings. Writing, researching info, sourcing suppliers, interacting with local agents and tech service providers worldwide. Producing technical translations, technical documentation, glossary of terms, onboarding materials. Managing and recruiting maritime crews. Producing risk assessments and pertaining safety protocols for the crews.
Before that I worked in congress & event management, Berlin city, at a time when that beloved madhouse of mine still had 3 functioning (!) airports. I had moved to Berlin when the wall was still standing. Later with the building frenzy unleashed – and me having just returned from a 3 years stay in the Italian South in-between – I spent two years handling the deliveries for a big German-Italian construction site in Berlin city, on site, sunrise to sunset. Providing technical translations and interpreting during meetings, for the 150 workers on site and the bureaucratic procedures all around it. It was an excellent school for a technical translator. You saw what you talked about, each moment. And you learned about the working realities like they are not taught at any academy.
My formal education – are two: A Bachelor of Science Environmental Studies, with focus on renewable energies and sustainable business innovations, done with the Open university UK. And a translators diploma German/Italian, done with Akad University at Stuttgart, Germany.
These days I work as a virtual assistant, writer and independent travel consultant. And after many years of prevalently office work, my preference has shifted to remote working. I am mobile, free to travel anywhere and my well equipped home office is a comfortable, quiet base for focused work. That having written, I certainly could also join your team at an office where needed, for a period of time.
