The Team
Our strength lies in working as a team that comprises a translator and an editor for all major specialist sectors.
We focus only on language pairs that include either English or Italian, because we know we can guarantee quality in those combinations.

 | Lisa Scudieri Team Leader Lisa is our team leader and unless you meet one of our members personally, will probably be your first point of contact with Translators & Co. She is an Italian-to-English translator and specializes in the legal and medical fields, in which she garnered much experience before deciding to take a university language course. During her studies and after graduating, Lisa continued to work in these sectors, later preferring to become a full-time translator, in 2001. Her real speciality is translation and proofreading of Clinical Trial documentation and contracts, but she also offers audio translations and transcriptions for the team using Start Stop Transcription Systems. Lisa was admitted to the Proz.com Certified Proz Network in September 2008 and is keen to raise the profile and reputation of the profession. She takes pride in continuously furthering her studies and has recently taken an interest in the relatively new field of forensic linguistics having had the opportunity to translate the transcripts for many high profile cases. Lisa is originally from Derbyshire but now divides her time between the UK and Italy. Her personal interests include mountain-biking and reading murder mysteries. |
