I am a journalist, editor, subeditor and translator.Through my work as a writer and editor on suburban and metro newspapers and websites, I have developed a unique insight into what readers expect from their daily news provider. As a journalist and regional editor at Fairfax Community Newspapers, and in my editor roles at the Sydney Morning Herald and The Sun- Herald, I increased readership online and in print. I am a meticulous subeditor, copy editor and proofreader with many years experience carefully and sensitively editing thousands of words daily. I am also a skilled and experienced Italian to English translator. I have a deep understanding of both languages at a literary and colloquial level. As a freelance translator, I have worked on a variety of texts, including news articles and literature.
