Professional Development |

Besides actual translation and editing work, another important aspect of my job is continuing professional development, or CPD. According to the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI) website, CPD 'is the systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of knowledge and skills. It also encourages the development of personal qualities necessary for the execution of professional duties throughout your working life.' As a Qualified Member of the ITI, I aim to regularly undertake CPD by attending events, conferences and classes, to reach at least the 30-hour annual total the ITI recommends for its members.
From March 2016 until March 2017 I participated in the Remote Year programme, where I travelled the world alongside 70 other professionals, living and working as 'digital nomads'. Our itinerary included four months in Latin America, four months in Europe and four months in South-East Asia. So far, I have given four presentations on my digital nomad experiences, two in person at the 2016 Mediterranean Editors and Translators Meeting and the ITI's 'One Day In' event in June 2018, and two as webinars for the ITI Spanish Network and ITI itself. In 2018, I began working on achieving my long-standing goal of learning Italian, taking classes at the Instituto Chileno Suizo in Santiago, Chile and InClasse in Verona, Italy, as well as completing Pontile Sud, a week-long Italian culture and language course for translators and interpreters who work or intend to work with Italian. By September that year, I had reached Level C1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), and since March 2019 I have been based in Milan. |

'Elizabeth was a dream to work with while I was assistant Project Manager at Nova. Not only did she consistently deliver high-quality translations on time, she was a reliable and pleasant supplier who I very much enjoyed working with. If I had a requirement for Spanish to English translations in my current company, I would definitely be using Elizabeth as a supplier!
