I am an ECQA certified Terminology Manager (TermNet-Vienna) and I started a blog on terminology after realizing that those who were curious like me on knowing more about terminology, a very young discipline, did not have a place to go and learn and share about terminology. I work as a full-time Translation Assistant in the quality control unit at the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington, DC. Originally from Costa Rica, I moved to Washington DC in 2000 and in 2011 I married a translator from Barcelona who I met while taking an online course on translation technologies. We met personally while presenting my dissertation for the Master's in Specialized Translation at the Universitat de Vic. I have been a swimmer since I was five and did triathlons for many, many years, but for now I have my eyes set on becoming a better professional and improving my catalan. I plan to retire in Barcelona because I love the city, the people, and their culture and language. But I still have my heart in my country, Costa Rica. Oh, and yes, family is first and the best.Take care!
