About me

My passion is knowledge. My quest is for the best way to express it in multiple languages.

I've worked as a freelance translator for the WTO (World Trade Organization) in Geneva. I also work as a translator and proofreader for translation agencies, publishing houses, universities and private clients in Brazil, France, Switzerland, Portugal, England, the Netherlands, Germany and Italy.

I've also worked as a freelance interpreter for the United Nations in Geneva and New York and for WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) in Geneva.

In my spare time, I like to read and write. I have published three short stories in Brazil:

- "Nas páginas do Correio", coletânea Convergentes, editora Guemanisse, Teresópolis, February 2007;
- "Ponto de fuga", coletânea Encontros, editora Guemanisse, Teresópolis, April 2007;
- "À escuta da diferença", coletânea Cantigários, editora Guemanisse, Teresópolis, November 2008.

Another one called "Em nome da fome" is available online since June 2008 on http://www.thedrillpress.com/broca/broca.shtml.

I received a prize for the short story "Itinerário" in a nationwide contest organized by the city of Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ, in November 2007.

And three other stories, called "Resoluções", "É óbvio" and "O chamado", have been published in the collective book Almanaque do Macho Moderno in October 2009.
