Caoimhe Alliot Stenson: After studying Applied Languages at the University of Limerick for four years, during which time she lived abroad at every given opportunity (co-op in Paris, Erasmus in Almería and two summers in Barcelona and Valencia), Caoimhe knew she wanted a career in languages and enrolled in the Masters in Translation Studies at DCU. Immediately after submitting her thesis, she started working as a financial translator in Luxembourg. Eight years later, Caoimhe decided to apply for a job with the European institutions and, after passing the translator competition, began working for the European Commission in 2015. She translates from French and Spanish (which she studied in UL), and German and Romanian (which she has learned since joining the Commission). She is now learning Portuguese.
