Isabelle McRae and Spanish interpreter and influencer Marisol Santana have been working with the American Translators Association (ATA) to support young professionals in the Translation and Interpreting industry. We aim for this initiative to create a forum for other young colleagues to network, ask questions, and share resources about navigating the field in 2024. We are working on developing initiatives for better youth inclusion at the upcoming ATA conference this fall.
An interview with Isabelle about language learning and using Turkish in her career was featured by the Critical Language Scholarship in “Celebrating Women’s History Month with CLS Alumnae”. Isabelle shared her story of education – from community college to graduate school at the London School of Economics, and encouraged young students to follow their curiosity and seek out intellectual allies. She also talked about how she ended up interpreting for the first Turkish Space Mission.
