Short Bio
I am a professional translator with 17 years of experience in various fields of translation, particularly in the NGO field, technology, finance, and social sciences (BA in Translation). My academic background in sociolinguistics (MA in Linguistics) shaped my life and professional journey and transformed my views on translation, and deeply affected my approach to languages in general, their use, learning, teaching, and social impact.
Experience with the Civil Society
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with over 50 NGOs on translation projects.
