Summary

An enthusiastic, highly motivated linguist with a vast experience in multilingual events. I am fluent in English and Portuguese and a native speaker of European Spanish and Catalan. Having been a freelancer for 15 years, I have learned to work under the pressure of time, to assemble interpretation teams, to organize international conferences, to keep up with technology, to manage my client base, to negotiate my rates, among many, many other things. Among other institutions, I have worked for the ILO, the European Commission and the United Nations.
