She is the managing editor of Translation and Interpreting Studies (John Benjamins). Her first book, Traducción, competencia plurilingüe y español como lengua de herencia/ Translation, Plurilingual Competence, and Spanish as a Heritage Language (Routledge), which is based on an empirical study, identifies strategies to represent the linguistic experiences and practices of Spanish HL speakers in the context of professional translation and interpreting training.
