In 2018 I was appointed CEL (Foreign Language Instructor) for the Department of Interpretation and Translation at the University of Bologna.

In the last few years I have also held several seminars in the field of audiovisual translation (Master in Screen Translation, University of Bologna) and delivered professional training courses (Laboratory of Terminology and Computer-Assisted Translation, University of Bologna). I also taught "Multimedia Translation" within the Master's Degree in Modern Languages for Communication and International Cooperation at the University of Macerata.
