About
Michela studied interpreting and translation at the University of Applied Sciences in Cologne, Germany and later completed a Master of Arts in Communication Studies degree at the University of South Australia. She is a certified Italian–English and German–English translator and interpreter, as well as a NAATI examiner.
Michela worked as a T&I professional in Europe and Australia for 15 years before transitioning into advisory roles for several state and federal members of parliament.
