About me

As a freelance translator I work for companies and individuals translating, editing, and proofreading a diverse range of texts, including websites, research projects and academic documents, subtitles, and also publications and press releases.


I also have great experience translating and proofreading subtitles from features, episodic series, report pieces, and documentaries for video, TV and DVD. I also do subtitle timecoding and synchronization.


I became a translator mainly for the opportunity to know other cultures and to transport them to my language. I often work as a volunteer for instituitions and individuals in need. In 2008 I won the 1st Annual ProZ.com Translation Contest - Spanish to Portuguese. The translation is available in my profile and also through the contest page.


My main interests lie in literature, cultural studies, human and social sciences, particularly semiotics, education, sociology, anthropology, religion, and studies on language and history.


More information upon request.
