Giulia Capogna

Giulia comes from the breathtakingly beautiful city of Rome – the capital of Italy that attracts millions of visitors from all parts of the world every year. This just might be the reason why the child named Giulia Capogna became fascinated by foreign languages at a very early age and pleaded to learn English and French. This is where the roots of her linguistic career formed.

After graduating from high school, Giulia entered a bachelor’s degree program in language and literary studies at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, where she also minored in German and Spanish. A semester sent abroad in Cádiz, Spain, intensified her desire to turn her passion into a profession. Back in Rome, her wanderlust took hold of her once again, and she eventually found herself in another picturesque city, Heidelberg, where she earned a master’s degree in translation studies with a focus on medical and technical subjects.

Giulia joined Leinhäuser Language Services in 2018 after receiving her degree. She initially worked with customers in technical areas. Today, she spends more and more of her time working in the marketing unit and those areas that require a creative touch. In addition to her role as an account manager, she is a key member of the company’s internal Italian team, where she translates German and English texts into Italian.

What I like most about Leinhäuser is the huge amount of flexibility we have. I don’t have to put myself in a particular cubbyhole. I get to apply both my account management skills and my linguistic talent at the same time.

Giulia moved to Bonn in 2022 and is one of the company’s “homebodies” as a result. When her fingers are not tickling the keyboard, she loves to dive into a good novel, play turn-based role-playing games or stroll along the banks of the Rhine River. These relaxing walks also give her an opportunity to pursue her new hobby: When she comes across a plant that she has never seen before, she whips out her phone, takes a picture of it and adds it to her personal botanic collection.
