Although my professional life was based on working as Bilingual Secretary at several companies for more than 15 years I decided to take another step and dedicate my time as full-time Freelance Translator. Some examples: I worked for more than 8 years for Marel Stork where I translated technical and non-technical documents, manuals, emails, presentations, proofreading of translated journals to be used in exhibitions around the world from english to portuguese and from english to spanish and vice-versa; for Tintas Coral I had the opportunity to support marketing department translating all kind of documents from spanish to portuguese, including materials used in market research in several Latin American countries; for Polibrasil I used to translate all kind of business documents. Also worked for other chemical and metallurgical industries.
Certified in 1997 by Universidade São Judas Tadeu as Translator/Interpreter.
Experience in translating: technical and non-technical texts for equipments used in the food processing industry; marketing research; any kind of manuals, guides, brochures and catalogues; general engineering and manufacturing area,
I also enjoy reading literary texts and watch reports and interviews of all kind of subjects to gather more and more information to improve my terminology memories and love researches.
