My name is Geraldine Gonzalez and I'm 28 years old. I was born in Panama but spent many years in Canada.
I have several hobbies and interests which I think make me an interesting person...
Some of those hobbies include dancing (I used to be a professional urban dancer), writing, and watching movies. On an unrelated note, I'm also a dog lover.
Professionally, my career took a turn during the pandemic. I used to be a flight attendant but when the world shut down, I decided it was time to re-invent myself and I am now a copywriter for a publishing company. Besides copywriting, I've also written several articles under my own name which the company has published.
I am currently enrolled in my third year of University, studying to become a translator and hoping to graduate soon. If all turns out like I've planned, being a certified translator would allow me to have an additional source of income.
Some of the goals I have set for myself include writing a book at some point in my life as well as introducing finding the time to travel again.
We'll be taking a look at different computer assisted translation tools as well as machine tools capable of providing a somewhat accurate translation. Of course, each project you'll find in the CAT tab has the human review to ensure the most accurate translation possible.
In the Intercultural Translation tab you'll find a number of projects related to different cultures and how that might affect or influence certain types of translations.
In the Simultaneous tab, there are a number of videos shadowing and interpreting simultaneously with the use of screen recording tools.
And finally, in the Translation Criticism tab you'll find projects and assignments related to the subject.
