Hello! I'm Abby. I studied a bachelor's degree in English Teaching in Mexico City, at UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico). I have been working for almost three years by now as an English Teacher, for kindergateners, teens and young adults.
I have also been working as a freelance Translator with a publishing house in Mexico City, doing magazine articles and interviews, mainly. The topics were about daily social situations.
In addition, I translated the manual 'The 202020 Vision' from English into Spanish, which is a handbook related to the policies on environmental care, planting, water care, pollution decrease and air care in Australia.
I also worked for two years in the English version of the academic journal at my university campus. It all began as voluteering for six months but I loved it so much I stayed longer. I was in charge of doing the English version along the Spanish one, under the editor's direction. The main written work I did were specialized texts such as academic abstracts, the article's title and the author's biography.
Two of my hobbies are reading and listening to music. I have always loved them and, when started studying language and linguistics, I realized how much unsaid there is behind the true meaning of words. I'm fascinated by the way words work all connected in speech and I simply love the way they can be transfered from one language to another.
I have traveled out of Mexico thanks to two scholarships I was awarded while at college. I went to California State University, Northridge for a summer camp on TOEFL and I also had the chance to study English in the UK for some time, at Churchill House School of English. Additionally, I own a C1 certificate (Cambridge Proficiency).
In general, my life is all about words and language. I read or listen something and I'm immediately thinking about it in one language or another. My native language is Spanish but I'm thinking in English almost all day, all days.
