Student Spotlight
Sofia Ceron
Thanks to the MA in Translation and Interpreting at Illinois, I got to specialize more in my main interest (interpreting) and acquired the necessary knowledge and skills for starting my career with confidence. Time went by so fast because I really enjoyed the very friendly and collaborative atmosphere, as well as the academic and human quality of all the professors that are experts in their field. They left a great impact on me as a person and future interpreter.
