Conference interpreter during the debate ‘’Being a woman in Afghanistan‘’.

The Sala Francesc Tarafa is located in a building on Carrer Corró in Granollers.

It housed the old medieval hospital of Santo Domingo, with a Gothic structure, built by Bertran de Seva between the 14th and 15th centuries. It was inaugurated by King Alfonso XII and provided health services until 1844.

The current building conserves the Gothic structure of the old hospital, a rectangular space covered with wooden beams and two stone arches that support the gable roof.

In 1926 it was remodelled by Joaquim Cepillo, who converted it into a library, decorating the interior with plant motifs and modernist stained glass windows. At the back of the nave there is a space covered with a pointed vault, which was recovered during the refurbishment. It also conserves the stone doorway with a semicircular arch.

I have been working as a simultaneous interpreter since 1992, and my very first assignment was none other than the Barcelona Olympic Games. I was proud to be part of such a historic event, as it allowed me to combine my passion for both sports and my profession.

In my early years, I found myself wanting to be every professional whose world I entered from the interpreting booth. Enthralled by the excitement of the athletes representing us, I dreamed of becoming an Olympic sailor. Another day, I returned home determined to be the best coach. A respected pediatric surgeon. The most efficient orthodontist. A renowned publishing director. A stairlift manufacturer. A high-fashion model. A driver on the new metro line. An actress, a sculptor. A nurse. A President of a board of directors.

I quickly realized that pursuing so many professions, no matter how fascinating they seemed, would be impossible. Instead, I chose to embrace the privilege of giving voice to the remarkable individuals I have had the honor of interpreting for, carrying a piece of each one with me.

I cannot deny that every client I have worked with has left a lasting impression on me, enriching both my personal and professional growth.
