Name:
\n<\/strong><\/em>Camila Fonseca<\/p>\n

Location:
\n<\/strong><\/em>New Hampshire<\/p>\n

Email:<\/strong><\/em>
\ncamisdelaney@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n

What I do: \u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
\nI am an ATA-certified translator and a medical interpreter. I also work as a home-based therapist working with families served by the Department of Children and Families and counseling parents who are facing termination of their parental rights.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m most proud of:
\n<\/strong><\/em>Lending a voice to disenfranchised immigrants is a source of pride and joy. I am also proud of having passed\u00a0the ATA certification exam, particularly because English is not my native tongue. I am just as comfortable in English as I am in Portuguese, but passing the exam was really special. I am happy with my fluency in Spanish as well, but not so excited about my French \u2013 a language I only grasp.<\/p>\n

My background:<\/em>
\n<\/i><\/strong>I grew up in S\u00e3o Paulo and moved to California in the 1990s. I went to college in Riverside, where I got a B.A. in Anthropology, and later moved to Florida, where I obtained a master\u2019s in Social Work. I lived in Spain in 2008 and interned in a mental health clinic in Valencia.<\/p>\n

Why do I belong to the PLD?<\/em>
\n<\/i><\/strong>It helps me keep up with our ever-changing industry.<\/p>\n

Major challenge(s) in my career<\/strong><\/em>:<\/strong><\/em>
\nJuggling motherhood and a busy professional life.<\/p>\n

A favorite project:<\/em>
\n<\/i><\/strong>My favorite project was my very first translation assignment. Fresh out of college, I was awarded a contract with a Brazilian governmental agency to translate ILO (International Labor Organization) training materials from Spanish into Portuguese. It was thrilling to have access to important documents and to feel part of a relevant effort involving the U.N. and the Brazilian government. That project made me think for the first time about translation as a profession.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m reading now:<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>
\nI am reading\u00a0Still Midnight<\/a><\/i>, by Denise Mina. It is about the aftermath of a kidnapping in Glasgow\u2019s Indian community.<\/p>\n
