I am a Brazilian Portuguese native speaker, English native-like, and I have been professionaly working with languages since 1997. I am also a writer, and until now I have 5 novels and a play (a musical).

I have lived my whole life in Brazil. I was born in São Paulo city, the 5th largest city in the world (18 mi inhabitants), but as I love peace and silence, I moved to a very small and quite countryside city (40 thousand inhabitants).

I am married - no kids, thank you - and my husband and I both work at home. I gave English and Portuguese classes for many years, but for the last 2 years I have dedicated myself to translations only.

I love sports, dancing, having my close friends at home. Barbecue is a must. I also adore movies and reading good books before sleeping - actually, the book and my pair of glasses usually end up on my face, my husband is responsible for taking them off me.

As a person, I am good-humored, sensitive, talkative (maybe too much), fair-minded and definitely stubborn and strong-willed (although I do my best to be more versatile and open-minded)

As a professional, I am very confident - I am good at what I do because I love my job and have plenty of experience, not only in translations. As shown in my CV, before becoming a language professional, I exposed myself to different kinds of jobs and work environments - and this is important when translating. I am also extremely responsible and organized - a deadline is a deadline, no excuses, and I like my final work to be clean and consistent.
