Bio

I'm a literature enthusiast since I can remember. I
started journalism at college but at the end of the way, I realized that it was
not what I wanted to do. After a few years here and there, I decided to go for
English/Portuguese and their literature. It was love at first sight.

I "started" translating in 2005 when I was a
teenager. I had a Brazilian forum about a Korean singer and most of the news
we've got were in English. I translated all the English news we could find into
Portuguese, so our friends and visitors could read too.

In 2009 I got into a Languages course in college,
thinking of becoming a literary translator since I love to read. I
translated short stories, ended up learning how to subtitle, all to family and
friends.

Late in 2015, I started my specialization in English -
Portuguese translation where I've learned a lot about this amazing career. In
2016 I got my first paid job in translation and I've joined Babelcube,
Coursera, and TedTalks to improve my skills.

Today, I translate more technical texts than
literature. But I can't say it isn't amazing. I've learned so many new things,
and so much about myself in the process that I must say it is a win-win
situation.
