BIO

I am a
translator/proofreader from English,
French, and Spanish into Brazilian Portuguese and I am passionate about
languages, travelling, and the digital world. Now based in Canada, I have lived
in Brazil, England, Germany, and France, where I had the opportunity to experience
different cultures, work in multicultural environments, and improve my language
skills. Since
2013, I have been translating and proofreading exclusively.

Graduated
in Tourism, and holding Master’s Degrees in Languages and European Management,
International Trade, and English-Portuguese Translation, I mainly localize and
proofread content related to creative
areas, such as digital marketing, tourism, and mobile games. Having
managed a retailing company after graduating, I have also developed a strong
interest in business administration,
and often participate in projects in this field. My goal as a language professional
is to help my clients convey their message in a clear, consistent, and creative
way.
