About me

I was brought up bi-lingual ( English and Dutch) and graduated ( Baccalaureate A) from French High School in Portugal.

I speak Portuguese fluently as I lived in Portugal (31 years) and Brazil (8 years.)

French was the language of my Higher education

I have taught English second language in a Swedish school and tutored many students in English and French.

Having worked in different sectors of the hospitality business ( Airlines, International Country Club, Hotel business and Travel Agency/Consultant Business) for many years, I have constantly used my language skills.

My passion for languages reflects in my translations as contextual clarity and accuracy.
Having the In-Country experience and a good understanding of the cultural framework that surrounds the language is very helpful for clear and precise translations.

My rates depend on the size, format and content of the project and usually start at USD 0.10/word.
