I am a full-time lecturer in interpreting in the Department of Translation and Interpreting of the University of Salamanca, in Spain (Profesora Permanente Laboral). I have a PhD in Social Science (Intercultural Mediation) from USAL, and my thesis was entitled: Ethical motivation: testing the impact of values and beliefs in interpreter education.
I have also finished a Master’s Degree in Gender Studies from UNED, with the dissertation “Gender and Interculturality: role reversal as a strategy for social awareness”, and a Research Proficiency Certificate (DEA) at UGR (Translation, Society and Communication), with a dissertation on interpreter education. My undergraduate degree was in Translation and Interpreting.
I am Canadian and Spanish, and I have taught courses on simultaneous and consecutive interpreting from English into Spanish, Spanish into English and French into Spanish, at undergraduate and graduate levels (see Teaching tab) in several universities.
Time allowing, I am a researcher, interpreter, translator, and a volunteer. My research interests are mainly gender studies, ethics in interculturality, retour interpreting and interpreter education. Current research projects are listed in the publications, student dissertations and affiliations pages.
