My name is Wendy Querube Ramos Castroverde. I'm from Coclé, I love practicing kickboxing, my hobbies are reading, writing and spending time in nature. I work in Panama Tourism Authority and also I tutoring elementary school kids. I am a mother of 3, I am single and I own two cats. Yes, I am a cat lady 😅, I really love my life as it is right now, I continue to build my world one day at a time with my goals and projects, among them are getting my degree in this career. So, there is still a lot to tell.
How important is it for you to develop your interpretation skills and what you would like to achieve with that.
First, I decided to study an English Degree because I want to become an English Professor. One of my goal is to work with teenagers and adults, however, I must accept that it was not a goal for me to be an interpreter or translator. It has been in this degree that I have learned the wonderful world of translation and interpreting, and I realize how important it is to develop this skill, which will serve me anywhere in the world. It is for this reason that I am very focused on continuing to prepare myself in this field, and to become certified as an official translator.

In this project, we had to choose a TED video, it had to be in Spanish and we had to make the interpretation or translation into English. Once again, I chose a motivational video which I really enjoy listening to.

Optional project in which we had to translate a video, such as a Nobel Prize speech or a short story, I chose a short story by the author Gabriel García Marquez.
Title: "La Mujer que siempre llegaba a la 6" by Gabriel García Márquez
Conclusion:
With this compendium of videos that was made during the duration of this course, we have also started with the development of some skills, such as speeding up the memory when interpreting, the application of technical vocabulary, according to the type of translation requested, even voice modulation is important at the time of interpreting.
This has been the beginning for many of us, and our main goal should be to continue to increase our knowledge in this field, to practice, and to take advantage of the opportunities that are offered to us as professionals.
