About me
I have been a full-fledged translator for 15 years, working with a few language pairs. As such, I believe my translation capabilities may be extremely useful to you.

Languages
My native language is Brazilian Portuguese, and I am just as fluent in English. Likewise, I can also deal with Spanish, Italian, and/or French. Therefore, you can count on me to translate from English, Spanish, Italian, French into Portuguese and from Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French into English as well as adapt European Portuguese texts to the Brazilian variant.

Professional Associations
I am a member of ProZ and TranslatorsCafe.com communities of professional translators.

Fields
My translation work ranges from business, financial reports, legal documents, agreements, medical texts, websites, Information Technology (IT) manuals, software, technical manuals, government, politics, international relations, psychology, marketing, tourism, religion, history, to fiction and non-fiction, and more.

Education
I graduated as a translator and interpreter (Bachelor’s Degree) from a renowned university in Brazil (São Judas Tadeu), after attending São Paulo Federal University (Literature) and Anhanguera Educacional University (Liberal Arts). I have been studying and practicing the languages I work with for many years.

Experience and Professionalism
I worked in house for many years as a senior translator in a publishing house, where effective use of both written and oral English, Portuguese, and Spanish were required on a daily basis.
I started working as a full-time freelance translator in 1997 and that has been my occupation ever since.
My work is fast and reliable. Rates are negotiable. Assignments, projects and tasks are submitted in time.

Top-Notch Work
I have pursued excellence in all translation-related tasks. After typesetting documents, extensive research is conducted, and they are translated and thoroughly proofread (both on screen and in print). I can deal with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, FrameMaker, PageMaker, InDesign, XML, HTML, Interleaf, QuarkXpress, and Ventura file formats. As I am able to work using SDL Trados, Wordfast, Transit, Sisulizer, and MetaTexis CAT tools, you can benefit from my work, as this makes it possible translating nearly any kind of files.

What’s next?
If you consider that we can start a business partnership, I am ready to offer you a free-of-charge small test translation and send you whatever you need to prove my skills. You can download my latest résumé by clicking here or request it by e-mail.

I appreciate your time and interest.

I am looking forward to working with you in the near future.

Best regards,
