About me

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


I'm currently working 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 published two 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.

Another one called "Em nome da fome" is available online 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 in November 2007.

And I team up with some good friends to publish short stories available in Portuguese on:
