Boudicca: Britain's Queen of the Iceni	Italian	Main translator
Author review: Valentina is an archaeology student. Though she is a native Italian speaker, she lacks the professionalism and attention to document details required to successfully work as a translator. The final document submitted to me was badly mangled and required 40 hours of work on my side to put into publishable form. This is not acceptable to me.
