Hey, there!
Dr. Milena Anfosso here!
When I meet new people, it’s always challenging to answer the simple question, “What do you do?”
In fact, I have never fit into one box. Am I a creative scholar or a scholarly creative?
My interest in human language is the common thread connecting my Ph.D. in Historical Linguistics, my passion for writing, and my ease of learning and translating between different languages. No wonder I have explored human language from every possible angle: from ancient languages to modern languages, from hardcore linguistics––language as an object of the investigation itself, to creative writing and literary criticism––language as a means of artistic expression.
I think that this uncommon mixture between an analytical mindset and a creative penchant is what sets me apart from others.
I am an award-winning researcher in Historical Linguistics (Harvard University’s Research Fellowship in Hellenic Studies 2020; Publicis Group’s Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet Foundation Award “Prix de la Vocation” 2015), a multilingual (Italian, English, French, and Spanish) published author (academic and creative writing), a public speaker, and a highly qualified translator. I originally come from a small village (300 people!) named Coazzolo, in Northern Italy. After spending several years in Paris to pursue my Ph.D. at Sorbonne University, I fell in love with Los Angeles, and I currently live in this wonderful city. In light of my life journey, I fight against the discrimination that minorities – and above all, women – still have to face in Academia and, more generally, in their professional lives.
Do You Think I Can Help?
My mission is to act as a bridge between the academic world and the non-academic world to lead various projects to completion.
Whether you are:
(ii) Needing my help to submit your work internationally through the “International Scholar” Academic Translations Service (languages available: English, French, Italian, Spanish);
(iii) Looking for academic and post-academic coaching in the frame of “The Rockstar Scholar and Beyond” Career Coaching Program (if you are planning to apply for an academic position in the U.S. or Europe or wanting to hone your “transferable skills” to increase your value on the job market inside and outside of Academia);
I am looking forward to meeting you!
Stay Tuned!
I send thoughtful and caring emails.
