Bio

I'm a professional translator (EN>PT-BR) with a degree in journalism and a
postgraduate degree in English to Portuguese translation from PUC-Rio.
Attention to detail, diligence, and commitment to deadlines are among my core
strengths. I also have a solid background in English and Brazilian Portuguese,
as well as a commitment to continuous professional development through courses and daily studies — a practice that has been key to my clients' satisfaction. 

I previously worked as an in-house translator, and since 2015 I've been working
as a full-time freelancer, translating both for direct clients and translation
agencies.


• Brazilian Portuguese native speaker translator, working from English into Portuguese, with 10+ years in the field.

• Experience translating, editing, post-editing, and proofreading texts for end/direct clients and agencies.

• Permanent reading and studying activities in source and target languages, always aiming at the utmost fluency and quality of translations.


• Expertise in technical translations, marketing, IT, social sciences, arts, and journalism.

• Deadlines are among my main concerns as a professional, and I have never delayed a file delivery to date.


• All the translations I produce involve *deep theme research. Also, the use of CAT Tools (memoQ, Trados, Memsource, among others) is at clients’ disposal.

P.S.: It is important to say that I own the licenses to use the full versions of all the software I work with, and I state that all my certificates and my CV are available upon request.

* I work supported by a vast library containing dictionaries (general and technical) and reference materials.
