Since 2011, I have dedicated myself to translating and editing
medical articles in the fields of orthopedics, cardiology, pediatrics, and
ophthalmology, among others. However, life sciences is not my only focus: I
started transcreating in 2012, working for advertisement agencies in Brazil.
Later, I was recruited by European agencies, and have been transcreating
marketing copy for Fortune 500 companies, including website
localizations. 

I currently provide translation, proofreading, copyediting, localization,
and subtitling services. I decided to pursue specialized training in the
latter; I'm finishing a year-long course in subtitling focused on corporate
audiovisual content, a growing niche in our industry.
