Bio
Certified Translator and Interpreter


Originally from Brazil (Franca - São Paulo), I have been living in and out of my country, in places such as England, Spain, France, Italy and Portugal, for the past ten years. This has allowed me to study local languages and cultures as well as to work and integrate my areas of study. My experience working abroad has included projects with volunteering centres in the language sector, research institutes, as well as professional work with agencies and companies in several areas, especially community interpreting and consecutive interpreting for businesses in London, Manchester, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belém do Pará, Manaus, Brasilia, Curitiba, Sao Paulo, Franca, Ribeirão Preto, Paraty, Macapá, Macaé and other places in Brazil and abroad. Regular visits to these countries enabled me to enjoy a close contact with the English culture, especially, but also to gain a deep understanding of cultures of the romance languages more broadly, without loosing pace of my own.

I currently work as a freelance translator and interpreter for governmental organizations, NGOs, agencies and private companies. My working fields range from the translation of websites to the translation of banking, marketing, IT and academic texts in areas such as Economics, Finance, Politics, Social Sciences, Law & Legal Documents (contracts) and also items for the Global Maritime and Transport Industry; I also provide Conference Interpreting services from and into Portuguese to English and Spanish to Portuguese, working with liaison interpreting, trade shows and workshops, negotiations and business meetings. Simultaneous and/or consecutive interpreting; Interpreting and translation for Solicitors, Hospitals, Legal and technical, Immigration, Airport, Business Conferences, Financial conferences, Family conferences, Scientific Conferences and also Phone conference calls.

In translation I work with the latest version of SLD Trados and Wordfast, as well as the best dictionaries and glossaries printed and online. I understand that technical translations are sometimes not easy tasks and I do extensive research for getting the right terminology and a translation that is focused on the message rather than on word-by-word. I translate from English and Spanish into Brazilian Portuguese and also Spanish and Portuguese into English (usually with the revision done by an expert native speaker). I am always open to take up a short translation test to prove my skills and I am able to forward reference letters from satistfied past clients.
