I have been a full-fledged translator for 15 years, working with a few language pairs. As such, I believe my translation capabilities may be extremely useful to you.

Languages

My native language is Brazilian Portuguese, and I am just as fluent in English. Likewise, I can also deal with Spanish, Italian and/or French. Therefore, you can rely on me to translate from English, Spanish, Italian and French into Portuguese and from Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and French into English as well as to adapt European Portuguese texts to Brazilian Portuguese.

Memberships

I am a member of the TranslatorsCafe.com community of professional translators.

Several Fields

My translation work ranges from business, financial reports, legal documents, agreements, medical texts, websites, Information Technology (IT) manuals, software, technical manuals, engineering, mechanics, government, politics, international relations, psychology, marketing, tourism, religion, history, to fiction and non-fiction and more.

Education

I graduated as a translator and interpreter (Bachelor’s Degree) from a renowned university in Brazil (São Judas Tadeu), after attending Anhanguera Educacional University (Liberal Arts) and the University of São Paulo (Literature).

Expertise

I worked in house for many years as a senior translator in a publishing house, where effective use of both written and oral English, Portuguese and Spanish were required on a daily basis.

Having been an English teacher for over a decade and challenged the best word to match a particular term has provided me with the skills to find the best option when translating challenging documents. In addition, my experience as a translation project manager has given me the necessary insights to understand precisely what my clients’ expectations are and how to address them in an optimal way.

I started working as a freelance translator in 1997, and since 2005 that has been my full-time occupation.

In addition to quality and on-time delivery, my clients can capitalize on a true partnership as well as a high level of responsiveness and flexibility. I always meet deadlines, which is my way of showing them respect for their time. I do abide by the confidentiality agreements I enter into.

Top-Notch Work

I pursue excellence in everything I do. As part of a detail-oriented process, when I commit to a translation job, I start a comprehensive research for terminology, in a few cases documents are formatted (DTP). After translation, a carefully proofreading stage takes place, both on screen and in print. Thanks to CAT tools like Trados, Wordfast or MemoQ, I can translate almost all kind of files.

What’s Next?

If you consider that we can start a business partnership, I am ready to offer you a free-of-charge small translation test and send you certified evidence of my skills. You can download my latest résumé by clicking here or request it by e-mail.

I appreciate your time and interest. I am looking forward to working with you in the near future.

Best regards towards excellence in all senses,
