I am an Italian-American freelance writer and translator based in Washington, D.C. My writing career began as a technical writer for a software company. My focal areas have been career-related themes, Chinese martial arts, historical figures, and international soccer journalism, respectively. My translation specialty area has been in the football/soccer genre; however, I recently completed my first literary translation on a collection of short stories by a Nobel Laureate, Grazia Deledda.
I was the publisher and editor of World Football Commentaries from 2006 to 2020, and performed a similar role at The Soccer Translator from 2008 to 2015. I was a contributor and translator at Soccerlens (UK) from 2007 to 2010 and 2018 to 2019, respectively. I was a contributor and translator at Beyond The Pitch (USA) from 2011 to 2013. My early work in world football journalism took place as a contributor and translator at AC Cugini Scuola Calcio (USA), Italian Soccer Serie A.com (USA) and Keeper Skool (Australia), respectively.
I was an editor and contributor at World Dragon Kenpo from 2005 to 2010. From 2011 to 2015, I participated in McGraw-Hill’s Business Insider Review Program as a freelance book reviewer. I created the Italian to English Translators Group on LinkedIn and have been its moderator since August 2010.
