ABOUT THE MARKETING TRANSLATOR
HOW IT STARTED…
My translation business wasn’t born by magic. I was in my 28m2 apartment in Coimbra, Portugal, sitting on my bed which was also my study station.
I was in the last year of my Master’s degree in Translation, and thinking about the future made me feel literally overwhelmed. In my heart I had this little dream, ever since I was a child: working with languages. But everyone kept telling me that no one lives off translations and that I had to look for a “real” job.
But I felt I had something to say, and that my determination could lead me somewhere.
…AND WHERE IT’S GOING
So I grabbed my laptop, dusted off my LinkedIn account that had been sitting there for ages, and started posting. In my posts, I talked about my passions — translation, languages, Italian, English.
I had no expectations, but I kept posting consistently.
It didn’t take long for the first clients to notice me. They saw expertise, dedication and a huge willingness to keep improving.
Today, I’m an established freelance marketing translator who helps successful brands and small startups bring their message to the Italian audience. I have lots of exciting projects lined up, so here’s to more to come!
