Continuing Professional Development

As a working translator, I've never stopped learning. Attending training sessions and conferences keeps me up to date on new developments in the field. To that end, I also participate in a number of professional organizations, such as the American Translators Association, the Society for Technical Communication, the New York Circle of Translators, ProZ and the National Writers Union.

Below are some of the conferences I have attended over the last few years. I also spoke at some of these events.

• National Writers Union's "Writing Across Borders" conference in New York, N.Y., June 1, 2013
• tekom's tcworld conference in Wiesbaden, Germany, Oct. 23-25, 2012
• Society for Technical Communication's Summit '12 in Chicago, Ill., May 20-23, 2012
