I started studying for my Bachelor’s Degree in 2003 and I completed my Master’s Degree in 2009.
Upon completing my studies, I started reading articles, watching webinars, and attending online and in-person conferences about marketing, CAT tools, new media & technologies, my translation working fields and other topics of interest for the translation industry.
