“Higher than actuality stands possibility”
— Martin Heidegger, Sein und Zeit – Being and Time, §7
I grew up in Cortina d’Ampezzo and am now pivoting towards translation and interpreting, as well as consulting on marketing content. I use DeepL and the one or other Large Language Model as a medium to broaden my field of view. My Master’s thesis focuses exactly on how to work with technology as a tool. What you receive marks its own “body temperature”.
My past experience, in Innsbruck and Austria, in hospitality and as a sport-climber made me rediscover my passion as well as interest for the Alps’ culture and history from a new, clearer perspective. As a host and athlete, I dove into language fields for more than 2 years and 9 months.
It was in the heart of the Dolomites where I discovered and further developed my great interest for rising to new heights, while also caring for my interests – likewise for my character as a language mediator and translator, communicating in German and English and growing further from all day-to-day learnings. For the summer season 2026 I took the utmost care to promote what is the pulsing heart of the Dolomites. Ask me what this meant: the answer matters more than the form. I now move to be a creative professional wanting to stand for a sustainable, coherent, anthropocentric development of the alpine region. Today I combine my vision of modern tourism and the wish to build strong bonds within the alpine region.
I am self-employed since June 2026 and can work worldwide. Send me an E-Mail using the button down below and I will take care of your enquiry.
