Bio

My professional background is in Logistics
and Supply Chain, a sector in which I have been working since 2014. I really enjoy reading multi-disciplined in areas that include religion, literature, sciences, history,business,  fiction to name others.

I have a 9 years general professional translation and interpretation experience, but I invest my time and money to be  a veteran in areas that cover supply chain, medicine, religion, business, science, education, literature and fishing. Many clients from countries like Mozambique, Zimbabwe, South Africa, France and to name other big international corporate have successfully purchased my services.

Born in Mozambique to a
bi-lingual family and went to study in Zimbabwe. I grew up speaking Shona and English
natively. I spent most of my childhood in Harare, where I later became a church
interpreter for English Missionaries from many parts of the word who were preaching
in our country. This interpretation returned back with me to Mozambique, but
this time I was working with 3 languages with Portuguese included on my list.

I did my secondary education of
Mozambican education System and later on, my advanced studies in International
Logistics and Transport Management with Supply Chain Operation with CILT in UK,
Colby and I am also taking Translation Course with DBB in Brazil.
