As a translator of Italian literature since 2001, my focus has always been on novels and short stories, but I have also translated creative non-fiction, children’s literature, art books, and guidebooks. I occasionally translate samples and write reports for publishing companies and literary agents. I am a long-time member of PEN America, ALTA, and STRADE. I was born in Paris, grew up in Beirut, Jeddah, London, and Boston, went to college in California, and made my home in New York City and in Italy, where I am currently based.
