Six months later I started my professional career in the television production sector of Sky TG24, the all-news satellite channel of Sky Italia. Over the years I have supervised all aspects of television coverage of major world events, coordinating all missions abroad, keeping in touch with journalists and the crew in the field, gaining experience in the field of news and audiovisual production at an international level. Thanks to my degree, I have improved my translation and interpretation skills and I have made over 670 simultaneous translations for the Tg, with a great editorial advantage for the channel. Always working at high speed and in high-stress environments, I learned to manage all emergencies and situations with extreme calm and rationality, achieving numerous objectives and obtaining praise from the directors of the Tg. In 2018 I left Sky and since then I have been working as a Visuals Producer for the international news agency Reuters, dealing with news coverage of international relevance, from writing scripts to editing video packages which are then distributed by Reuters to clients throughout the world. In addition to Reuters, since 2018 I have worked as a freelance on some reportages for large networks such as Enex, Al Jazeera, TRT World, and SVT. Since last year I have also started a collaboration with Confindustria as a translator of the CSC reports from Italian to English. I consider myself a dynamic and resolute person who knows how to adapt to any context and able to face changes and innovations with enthusiasm and commitment.
