The part Italian linguist that speaks five languages (not one of them Italian mind you).

Studying French, German and Russian, she has an interest in all things European - especially Eurovision and Norway. She can often be found in the language resource centre updating her blog (workyourmagic.blogspot.com), which has been praised by the eurovision community and a group of Mark-Tishman obsessives alike. She also has n self-confessed 'unhealthy obsession' with the Russian boyband Chelsi and all things Fabrika Zvezd in general (the Russian Pop Idol).
