For 30 years I have been working as a freelance translator and conference interpreter in Oporto, Portugal. In 2023 I moved to Kirchheimbolanden, Germany. In the meantime I consider myself an expert in a wide range of areas with research and accurateness constituting my most important criteria.
In my leisure time I prefer attending cultural events, fitness-classes, cycling, staying with friends and others.
I consider this platform also as a chance for learning from colleagues and improving my professional performance.
