About me
I am a Spanish/Swedish interpreter with a Bachelor's degree (2014) and a Master's degree (2018) in Interpreting and Translation Studies. Currently I am working as a PhD candidate at the Institute for Interpreting and Translation Studies at Stockholm University.
Previously I have taught on Public Service Interpreting I, Public Service Interpreting II, the Bachelor's Programme in Sign Language and Interpreting and Theme Course in Interpreting Studies, Cognitive perspectives on MA-level.
My research interests include language proficiency, directionality and cognition in public service interpreting.
PhD project
In my PhD project I investigate directionality and asymmetrical language proficiency of public service interpreters working between Spanish and Swedish. The primary aim of the project is to investigate the effect that these aspects possibly could have on the interpreter's cognitive processing.
The project is supervised by Laura Babcock and Elisabet Tiselius.
