About me

Translating is, definitely, my life.


My strong will to constantly search and learn, and my perfectionist way of working are my best friends every single morning when I turn on the PC and start working.

I'm always willing to discuss terminology and other matters concerning my work both with other profesionals and clients, and I'm always open to new and different approaches to a project or text. This is why I joined Proz.com, and why I intend to contribute in every way I can to this community.

I have never missed a deadline and I always keep in mind the clients' instructions and hold them sacred.

Some of the translations I've done have already been published, such as:

Lord Arthur Savile's Crime, by Oscar Wilde (English into Portuguese) - Publisher: Publicações Europa-América
Yes! Yes! Yes!, by Jenny Wood (English into Portuguese) - Publisher: Publicações Europa-América
The Wine Diet, by Roger Corder (English into Portuguese) - Publisher: Publicações Europa-América
Here Lies Arthur, by Philip Reeve (English into Portuguese) - Publisher: Publicações Europa-América
The Matchmaker of Périgord, by Julia Stuart (English into Portuguese) - Publisher: Publicações Europa-América
The Teenager's Guide to Money, by Jonathan Self (English into Portuguese) - Publisher: Oficina do Livro

Forthcoming:
The Good Life, by Jay McInerney (English into Portuguese)
Nouvelles lettres sur la prière, by Henri Caffarel (French into Portuguese)
30 Consejos prácticos para educar hoy, by Santiago Galve (Spanish into Portuguese)
Cómo evitar o superar el éstres docente, by Jesús Mª Nieto Gil (Spanish into Portuguese)
Los diez derechos del niño, by José Real Navarro (Spanish into Portuguese)


Websites I've translated:

http://www.coutada-turismo.com/index.php (Portuguese into English and Spanish)



I am looking forward for an opportunity to work with you!
