</style>I am a Spanish to English translator specializing in technical and scientific texts. I started college at UW-Madison as an engineering major, but after two years of coursework towards a degree in Engineering Mechanics and Astronautics I switched my major to Spanish. I spent the 2006-2007 school year studying abroad in Seville, Spain, and completed my BA in Spanish in 2007.<br />
<br />
I am currently a graduate student in the translation track of the <a href="http://www4.uwm.edu/letsci/mafll/program.cfm">MA in Foreign Language and Literature program</a> at UW-Milwaukee, where I also teach two sections of second semester Spanish. I will be graduating in about three weeks.<br />
<br />
I hope to use this blog as a place to reflect on my experiences as I start off after graduation and share any wisdom I may acquire on the way. Thanks for reading!Wenonah Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16620706393079418762noreply@blogger.com0
