Other experience includes translation lecturing (Université de Cergy-Pontoise in France [2019] & University of Vigo [2013] and Alcalà de Henares [2008 & 2020] in Spain).


As an interpreter, my assignments deal mainly with the cultural industry in Galicia and training sessions for private companies (consecutive, bilateral), Spanish <> French and Galician <>French.

Training is great (and a basic) and I attend training sessions all over the year (on financial and legal translating, translation industry and translation tools, and a wide range of subjects). Also, traveling, reading, listening postcasts and Moocs are just a pleasant and continuous routine for any translator.
