Languages

My native language is Brazilian Portuguese, and I am an English teacher. Likewise, I can also deal with Spanish, Italian and/or French. Therefore, you can rely on me to translate from English, Spanish, Italian and French into Portuguese and from Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and French into English as well as to adapt European Portuguese texts to Brazilian Portuguese.


Memberships

I am a member of the ProZ community of professional translators.


Multiple Fields

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


Education

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Pedagogy from UNEB, a Brazilian University.
I have Post-Graduate Degree in the English Language from FINOM, another Brazilian University. I studied Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced English at Brazilian CCAA.


Expertise

I worked for a few years as an English Teacher in a High School facility, where effective use of both written and oral English and Portuguese were required on a daily basis.

Having been an English teacher a long time and challenged the best word to match a particular term has provided me with the skills to find the best option when translating very difficult documents.


Top-Quality Work

I pursue excellence in everything I do. As part of a detail-oriented process, when I commit to a translation job, I start a comprehensive research for terminology, in a few cases documents are formatted (DTP). After translation, a carefully proofreading stage takes place, both on screen and in print. Thanks to CAT tools like Trados, Wordfast or MemoQ, I can translate almost all kind of files.


Partnership

If you consider that we can start a business partnership, I am ready to offer you a free-of-charge small translation test and send you certified evidence of my skills. You can download my latest résumé by requesting it by e-mail.

I appreciate your time and interest. I am looking forward to working with you in the near future.

Best regards towards excellence in all senses,
