Her research on World Englishes led her to explore Gibraltar English, a lesser-studied variety with distinctive phonological and grammatical features. During her time in Gibraltar, she discovered its rich multilingual culture, characterized by the use of Yanito, as well as its vibrant local literature and unique cultural identity.

However, she has also observed that Yanito is at risk of extinction, as its transmission from parents to children has diminished over time. She greatly admires the efforts of those working to raise awareness within Gibraltarian society about this alarming shift toward monolingualism, and strives to support their cause.

One of the ways she has contributed is by providing a platform for Gibraltarians to express their thoughts on language in the book Gibraltarians and Their Languages – 22 Linguistic Biographies, which she co-edited with M.G. Sanchez, Lucía Loureiro, and Cristina Suárez. The book, published by the University of Vigo Press, will be launched this week in Gibraltar.

Chris's journey in law is a testament to perseverance and commitment. He works for a small yet highly effective law firm that consistently punches above its weight. This firm, deeply rooted in the heart of the community, is renowned for its personalized approach and relentless pursuit of justice.

One of Christopher's career-defining moments came when he helped win a major case that had a profound impact. The victory was not just a professional triumph but also a deeply personal one. Winning that case felt like lifting a weight off the shoulders of his clients and the community. It reaffirmed his belief in the importance of standing up for what's right and the power of a small firm to make a big difference.

In Christopher Pitto, the community has a lawyer who not only excels in his profession but also embodies the spirit of compassion and service. His story is a powerful reminder that success is not just measured by professional achievements but also by the positive impact one has on the lives of others.

Series 4 is called, WTF! - Wow, That's Fantastic! 

But I'm also interested in what happens next, what does it mean to finally achieve that milestone, to reach that summit, then what? Is it all downhill from there?
