Bio


Background

 

With over
30 years of experience in the field of translation, my primary objective is to consistently
prioritize the reader's perspective. I firmly believe that capturing the
appropriate style and tone enhances the overall reading experience and
captivates the audience. My journey in translation started at a prominent
financial newspaper Gazeta Mercantil in Brazil, following which I took on the
role of English Dept. Coordinator at Lingua & Mensagem translation agency.
Since 2014, I have led the team of translators for the prestigious Who's Who of
Brazil's High Courts yearbook. Additionally, I provide consultancy services for
the Environmental & Social Risk Management Division at IDB Invest,
specializing in sustainability, environmental and human reports.

 

Education

 

I hold a master’s
degree in Translation from the University of Portsmouth and am recognized as a
Qualified Member (MITI) by the Institute of Translation & Interpreting in
the UK. I am a government-certified sworn translator in São Paulo, Brazil and successfully
completed the Advanced Translation Studies course from the University of
Denver. I also keep myself current by completing annual courses targeted at
sustainability, environment and legal writing.


Work
Methods

 

I use a
variety of tools to ensure I deliver top-tier product to my clients. My
priority is always to get the job done at the highest standard, meeting
deadlines every time. I am well known for working very well under pressure.  For inquiries or to reach out to me, please
