Biography
After my first degree in Translation and Interpreting I decided to travel and work abroad to improve my linguistic and intercultural skills (Channel Islands, Syria, and Morocco). When I returned to Barcelona, I undertook postgraduate studies in International Relations and Localisation while working as a language teacher.
From 2007 to 2012 I joined the Autonomous University of Barcelona as a part-time Associate Teacher at the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting. I taught Translation Technologies and Terminology at the BA in Translation and Interpreting and the MA in Translation and Localisation. During the same period, I worked as a translator and project manager for several translation agencies in Barcelona. My main duties included translation of specialised texts, website and software localisation, translation memory and terminology management, QA, translator support and multilingual project management.
I came to the University of Sheffield in 2012 as University Tutor in Localisation and Translation Technologies as well as Program Leader for the MA in Multilingual Information Management.
