I am a conference interpreter, translator, editor, speaker and… all-time juggler! Rainy London is based in the capital of the UK, and offer services from English, Spanish and French into Italian, ranging from translation to voiceover, from simultaneous interpreting to transcreation. Apart from translation and languages I like fitness, photography, and reading, I’m a bit of a fashion victim and I love social media, blogging and all things web. Branding and marketing are another soft spot of mine (and I do that underrainylondonbranding.com) and of course, as an Italian native, I can only but adore a nice, strong espresso.
