Research interests
I am really passionate about interpreting professionalization and how the interpreter's socio-cognitive processes affect their performance, expertise and behaviour. My main area of interest is Cognitive Translation and Interpreting studies (CTIS), but I am also interested in Psycholinguistics, Social Psychology and Sociology.
