Emma Gregory
Trade Development Officer, Milan, Italy

My interest in Italian was perhaps first sparked as a 7 year-old reciting lists of musical terms with a Kiwi accent. (...)

Victoria offered solutions and sealed my interest during study for a BA in Modern Languages (Italian and Japanese), and a Post Graduate Diploma of Arts (Marketing).

I am currently working as the Trade Development Officer at TradeNZ/ New Zealand Consulate in Milan. The ability to communicate with local companies in Italian is invaluable from all perspectives.
