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. |
