Student Information
Hello everyone! My name is Marianellys Alexania Mojica Alvarado, ID 9-761-700. I am an English student at Universidad Latina de Panamá. I was born in Veraguas, but my family moved to the city for better opportunities. I studied at Saint Joseph Salesian School for ten years and then graduated from Colegio Nuestra Señora de Lourdes in 2020.
I love reading and cinema, so translators and interpreters have always interested me. I want to develop my interpretation skills to work in whatever field I am passionate about. Therefore, I will give my all to be a great translator in the hopes of raising in the readers the same emotions the spectators have while reading a book or watching a film.
Introduction:
Welcome to my simultaneous interpretation portfolio. This collection showcases my journey in various interpretation techniques. Below, you will find different videos recreating a variety of scenarios that go from a director's explanation of his film to the interview of a gang leader in Haiti. I am sure you will enjoy them and even learn something new!
I invite you to explore each project to gain insights into my adaptability as a student learning simultaneous interpretation. Thank you for considering my portfolio, and I hope you enjoy it.

Conclusion:
Throughout my portfolio, I have delved deep into the intricacies of simultaneous interpretation, exploring its challenges, techniques, and role in bridging linguistic barriers. The journey has been enlightening due to the dedication it demands from interpreters. In addition, I have come to appreciate the importance of continuous practice, keen observation, and adaptability in mastering simultaneous interpretation. The nuances in language, cultural context, and subject matter require interpreters to be linguistically and culturally accurate.
I recommend two things for any student entering the world of simultaneous interpretation. First, regular practice because learning takes time. Developing skills is only achievable with determination and perseverance. Secondly, keep learning. Every day, there is an opportunity to learn about a language, interpreting technologies, and terminology. Hence, being curious is always vital. For the future, I would recommend interpreting a few minutes of a film. It could be one of the movies presented in module 14 because they connect with interpretation. Moreover, seeing the applications of the class in a real-life scenario would be fascinating.
To sum up, I have gained invaluable insights into simultaneous interpretation with the projects I have undertaken. This multifaceted discipline requires a whole umbral of abilities such as quick thinking, cultural awareness, and adaptability. The challenges faced, from using different applications to navigating complex terminologies, have enriched my understanding and appreciation for this form of interpretation.
