I have been working as a free lance writer, voice artist and professional teacher/trainer in Italy for the last thirty years. I have worked extensively with the British Council as a teacher, inter-cultural competence trainer and examiner, and through them have worked at various universities in the North of Italy. For the last twenty years I have also collaborated with the English Language magazine Speak Up contributing articles and voice recordings about my specific areas of interest: intercultural communication, the environment, sustainability as well as UK history, culture and society.
