My name is Alessandra Festa and I am Italian.
I'm graduated from a three year degree in translation and languages, these being English and French, with a further two year specialization purely in translation at the University La Sapienza in Rome.
I have started working as freelance translator in 2007 and since then I have translated different kind of texts from different fields of specialization (Architecture, Arts & Literature, Advertising, Business, Information Technology, Legal, Marketing, Technical).
In order to develop my professional skills as a translator and to have an insight into the different ways in which businesses are run from country to country, in October 2008 I moved to London where I attended an internship at the translation company Language Connect from the 2nd of March to the 30thApril.
I use SDL Trados 2007 and Idiom 9.0.1 (full versions) and other software like Adobe Reader 8, Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 and Abbyy FineReader 8.0.
I' available for translation, proofreading, transcription and editing.
