Skills:
- I am a very creative and proactive person, always trying to learn new things. I try to resolve problems as quickly as possible while looking for the best results. I can adapt very well in a group, either as leader or following one. I have a great time management and sense of responsability.
- As a translator, when working alone, once I am given a text, I search for terminology and investigate the topic I am translating. If possible, I try to talk to professionals in order to have a more personal approach, then correct and edit the texts in both languages. When working in a group, if I have to divide the tasks, I ask everyone what they prefer doing in order to make them more comfortable in their task, and I am always offering help besides doing my part. If I have to follow another leader, I do what I am asked to do and, if possible, I try to suggest my ideas to make the job better and to help my partners.
- As a teacher, I give courses that last from March to December. I prepare the classes according to the level of the student, dividing the classes on writing, speaking and listening parts. I also prepare exams and homework of every topic I teach to assure the learning level. At the end of the course, some of my students sit for international exams on November and December. My approach with my students is an empathic one, trying to teach them from things they like, in order to make the activities with that (for example, if they like football, I try to give them a reading comprehension about a match, or write the biography of their favourite player).
- I am constantly doing courses, assisting to talks or seminars and watching professionals talk about different topics in order to keep learning vocabulary and techniques, both in English and Spanish. I am currently doing a course on subtitling, but I enjoy doing all types of translations.
- At University, I have classes about law (Argentinian law and worldwide law through history and how to translate them); science and medicine (how to translate manuals and brochures); literature (the history and style of british and american literature, through the analysis of different authors of different decades); history (international history, economy and social situations of the past and the present) and English and Spanish grammar, semantics; phonology, syntax, morphology and vocabulary. I take some of these classes in English and some in Spanish.
