I am a professional translator with over fifteen years of experience performing Portuguese, Spanish and English language translations. My areas of translation expertise are Legal, Literature (books, short stories, poetry, children's literature), Official Documents, International Business, Marketing, General Business, Pharmaceutical, Education, Technical, Tourism, Manuals, Religion, Spritism, Esoteric Practices, amongst others.
I graduated from Georgia State University with a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Spanish language with a minor in both Portuguese and English. I have also completed various Translation, Interpretation, Project Management, Managerial and Financial post-graduate courses. While at school my primary focus was on Spanish/Latin American literature and translation both to and from my native language.
I am a professional English language and Foreign Language teacher having taught both children and adults. I have also previously held corporate positions such as Events Marketing Manager, Hispanic Marketing Research Manager and International Business Manager in the Internet, Advertising & Publishing, Telecommunications and Pharmaceutical industries. This varied career experience provides me with a unique capability to effectively handle translation projects from many different industries.
I am skilled in Internet, Microsoft Project, PowerPoint, Word, Excel, PageMaker, Trados and Wordfast. I have successfully completed professional training such as the Georgia Commission of Court Interpreters Training and achieved Advanced High rating on the foreign language Oral Proficiency Exam in Portuguese and Spanish administered by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language.
My varied background and upbringing of being born in the U.S., raised and educated in the United Kingdom, and having lived,worked and traveled extensively in Europe and South America, provide me with the cultural experience and knowledge with which to carry out complex translation projects from differing genres and industries.
In my home office I use the following hardware/software: HP Touchsmart with Windows Vista, Compaq Presario with Windows XP, Epson Stylus Cx4200 Printer/Scanner/Copier, Panasonic Fax/Copier, DSL 24-hour Internet access, Microsoft Office Professional 2003 and 2007, Trados and Wordfast.
Some of my most recent projects have included the translation of a series of Spirtism books from Portuguese to English: Obreiros da Vida Eterna (Workers of the Life Eternal), Pai Nosso (Our Father) and Jesus no Lar (Jesus at Home). The Workers of the Life Eternal book was published last year and I am listed as the lead translator in the book. The other two books are to be published later this year.
I am currently available for upcoming translation projects and my typical daily output is 3000 words. My average per word price is $0.07-$0.10 for normal projects. I comment also that I have both a PayPal and Moneybooker account for easy online payment of services.
