Bio
I am a Certified and Sworn Translator specialized in the Legal field, particularly in EU case-law, EU legislation and EU affairs on one hand, and sworn/certified translation of official documents on the other.  

My job in the EU area involves, inter alia, translating, proofreading and post-editing documents emanating from EU institutions, regarding cases before the Court of Justice of the European Union, in addition to Directives, Regulations, Decisions, Communications, Draft Proposals etc.

As a Certified and Sworn Translator I am authorized to provide certified/sworn/notarized translations that are legally binding.

My language combinations are: PT <> EN; PT <> ES; PT <> RO; EN > RO; ES > RO; IT > RO; IT > PT.

I provide various language services such as: translation, transcription, localization, MTPE and proofreading.

I work with different CAT tools: Trados; MemoQ; Phrase (former Memsource); Wordfast.

Although my field of expertise is Legal Linguistics and EU Law & Affairs, I also have a keen interest backed by a growing experience in Finance & Crypto, Banking & Economics; Pharma & Bioethics; Environmental Law & Policy.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Law and a Master's degree in International Legal Sciences, having also completed Postgraduate studies in Translation along with extensive CAT-tools training. I have a Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CEFR Level C2). In 2024, I obtained my certification as a Legal Translator for PT-ES-PT & EN-PT-EN which was granted by the Portuguese Translators Association (Associação Portuguesa de Tradutores, APT). I was also duly appointed as a Sworn Translator for Portuguese by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation (MAEC).

I am a member of:

The Portuguese Bar Association (OA);
The Portuguese Association of Female Lawyers (APMJ);
The Portuguese Translators Association (APT);
