No (not any more) Feb 16

I haven’t marketed my services for a long time because over the years, I’ve managed to build a good base of loyal and regular customers. This isn’t my first quiet period and I hope things will get better soon (I have to admit I’m a chronic optimist). Anyway, I’m at the end of my career…

Yes, I do! Feb 16

When I do have more free time, I try to watch webinars and learn more about my specializations in the translation field. On the other hand, I like to create content for learning Spanish and publish it on social media. It helps me to get more visibility, indeed!

No way not to do so, because this profession is dying
