Luisa Bocconcelli

Coming from roots spread throughout the Middle East and Europe, Luisa has always appreciated the importance of cross-cultural communication. As a high school student, she spent a year abroad in Rabat, Morocco, which pushed her to continue studying Arabic in college and eventually graduate with a degree in Middle Eastern Studies. Since graduating, Luisa has worked in Belgium, Tunisia, and her home town of Cape Cod, MA. She currently works as a freelance legal translator and recently obtained her certificate in medical interpretation. Aside from this, Luisa loves to translate with musical artists for video subtitling and as she pursues this Master’s degree, she is drawn towards Arabic literature that deals with themes of migration and transnationalism.
