As a translator and cultural project consultant and manager, I support individuals and organisations in the academic and cultural sectors to disseminate their ideas to international audiences in writing or through interventions and programmes, events and exhibitions. Intercultural communication and cooperation are at the heart of my work: my vision of translation as a collaborative and creative practice inspires me to develop innovative approaches that facilitate new communities to engage with arts and culture.
