A few words about me...
My name is Lisa Crosta.
I'm passionate about earth globes, CrossFit, sunsets, and historical fiction books.​
​
At thirteen, I dreamt of traveling the world as a flight attendant; at twenty, I was hooked by the movie The Interpreter by S. Pollack: that was it, cultures and languages would soon become my passion.
From Linguistic High School I stepped directly into a 5-year-university program, adding a fourth language to my repertoire and a 15-month Erasmus cultural immersion in Seville, Spain.
​
With a Master's degree in English and Spanish, I began a corporate adventure at a well-known Italian fashion company: first, as a Sales Director Assistant, then, as a Customer Service Representative.
Being the clients' reference gave me a true sense of purpose. That's why I’ve been serving in this role for about a decade, working for other well-known local companies in various sectors.
From luxury jewelry to mechanics for the pharmaceutical market, I constantly expanded and polished my technical knowledge along with my interpersonal skills.
Over the years, I have also been giving private language lessons to both adults and students.
Dreaming of an independent professional career, I decided to leave a 10-year permanent corporate job to follow my passion for the language industry.
​
I now run my own translation and interpreting business and am an active member of the Italian National Association of Translators and Interpreters.
