Current city: Chicago, IL
Concentration: Spanish to English Translation
Now I’m: a freelance translator and interpreter in the legal field
I came to Translation & Interpreting Studies because:
I always loved working with languages. While working with an international non-profit, translation and interpreting were a big part of my job. I enjoyed it immensely and decided to pursue it as a career.
What career advice do you have for current or potential TIS students?
Continuing education is a must. Stay involved with colleagues and professional organizations, and always be ready to learn something new.
