These collaborations are characterised by a high level of trust and by the assignment of particularly demanding projects.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout my career, the quality and consistency of my work have led me to receive assignments that require a particularly high level of detail or that are intended for final delivery without the need for additional review. In addition, during my first months in the sector, I was also assigned review tasks, an early recognition of the technical and linguistic solidity of my work.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outside the professional sphere, I devote much of my time to mountaineering and mountain sports such as via ferrata, alpinism and canyoning.
