Professional practices Maria Castro endorses ProZ.com's Professional Guidelines.
About me
I hold a degree in languages (Portuguese and English) from University of Aveiro (1992-97).
I started working as a teacher, teaching English and Portuguese to teenage students and adults. Alongside, I started translating legal and business documentation.

I am a highly motivated freelance translator, dedicated to detail and perfection, adept at working independently but equally capable of working in a team environment.

I provide translation, proofreading and editing services in the following language pairs: EN-PTpt; PTpt-EN; PTbr-EN and PTbr-PTpt.

I have collaborated with different clients in various fields and my specialties include Law; Certificates, Diplomas, CVs, Transcripts; Education, Pedagogy; Letters, Greetings, Conversation, General; Literature and Social Sciences, Sociology.


What clients can expect

A professional service that includes:
*top quality translations;
*attention to detail;
*meeting deadlines;
*project analysis and management on a "every project is unique" basis;
*CAT tool usage;
*post-translation support.


What clients say

Reliable, prompt, accurate, high quality, precision and dedication are words that we would use to qualify Mrs Castro and her services. We are more than satisfied with the services delivered by Mrs Castro. (Trident Trust).

Very good communication, very good quality work. (Fields Associates)
