I'm offering
Multilingual content specialist with expertise in education management, international marketing and financial services. Worked in Italy, China and UK where I successfully completed diverse assignments at Mondadori Publishing, SCM, EF, University of Edinburgh plus, more recently, Lloyds Banking Group (amongst others), now keen to move deeper into communication in its many forms. A published translator and writer, I also contribute my ideas on Medium and Quora. I keep a critical eye on cultural, economic and political issues around China, an area which has continued to interest me since university days and is now difficult to ignore. Either as a consultant or country expert, I can provide relevant experience and qualified knowledge to craft and tailor the right message for your audience. My main areas of interest are intercultural communication and East Asian relations, where I combine my lived-in experience of different countries with a lifelong passion for other cultures, including the Chinese one. As an Italian sinologist in the UK for a long time now, I have developed cultural insights and a unique perspective on current affairs, in particular geopolitical issues and their reverberations on everyday life. I am bilingual Italian-English and a work in progress for Chinese (upper intermediate at present). If you have ideas for collaboration or employment opportunities, you can contact me at: ******@******.**
