Over the years, I have translated novels, short stories, creative nonfiction, and essays from Italian into English for publishers in the USA and the UK. My work has been recognized by important prizes (the International Booker Prize, Oxford-Weidenfeld Prize, PEN Translates, and Silver Dagger Award) and reviewed in major newspapers and periodicals. 

I studied Italian at Middlebury College, the University of California at Berkeley, the Università di Firenze, and Columbia University, but truly learned the language – and by this I mean came to understand it on a physical level, on my own skin – by living in Italy, with Italians. I have spoken about translation at professional conferences and am a member of the American Literary Translators Association and PEN American Center. In 2018, I taught a graduate-level translation class at Middlebury Summer Language Programs, and in 2019, I attended Breadloaf Translation Workshop in Vermont.
