Bio

Born and raised in sunny Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I have always had a knack for (and keen interest in) foreign languages, History and cultural affairs. For as long as I can remember, I have had a close relationship with the culture of the Anglosphere countries, and by age 15 I had already obtained the Certificate of Advanced English from the University of Cambridge.

I have a degree in International Relations, and I have worked with tax consulting, among other things, giving me a rather wide net of experiences. Starting in 2016, I have been working as a freelance translator and, since then, I have taken jobs as disparate as CVs, contracts and institutional texts for NGOs. One of my main clients is Transparency International, for whom I have translated their annual Corruption Perceptions Index for two consecutive years so far.

In my spare time I like to read a good book (fiction or otherwise), listen to podcasts while playing Grand Strategy video games and, of course, play my trusty acoustic guitar. Legend has it that, every so often, when the planets align, I do some songwriting as well, mostly in English.
