My name is Laura Ferro and I grew up in a bilingual family in Galicia, Spain. Unsurprisingly, when I had to choose my career, I enrolled in a Bachelor's Degree in Translation and Interpreting. After that, I completed an European Master's in Conference Interpreting (EMCI) at the University of La Laguna.

I started to work full-time as translator and conference interpreter soon after finishing my Master's. I work mainly in the following fields:

• Simultaneous and consecutive interpreting (on-site and remote): international organisations and agencies, NGOs, human rights, gender equality, environmental justice or social advocacy.
• Marketing and SEO copywriting: I have written and translated SEO-optimized content for hotel chains, fashion and cosmetics brands, furniture companies, dairy products brands, yoga studios or tourism agencies.
• IT: software information, software user guides, software and hardware products.
• Research: I have translated reports for French and American universities as well as international organizations.
• Technical: product information guides, user guides, product descriptions...

The CAT tools that I use the most are SDL Trados Studio, Memsource and Xbench.
