Bio
I consider myself a professional, skilled, and ethical conference interpreter and translator of Brazilian Portuguese, English, and Spanish. I have over 24 years' experience in all forms of translation and interpreting - written, simultaneous, consecutive, and whispered - throughout Brazil, South America, North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

I approach each project from the listener's point of view, combining my in-depth market knowledge with the purpose of the event. My experience enables me to build teams of interpreters who are committed to the client's objectives. Over the course of my career, I have formed teams to attend the events of major Brazilian and foreign companies.

I began my professional career in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with clients that included consulates, gastronomy, and international brands.

I've interpreted in barracks, communities, offices, farms, slaughterhouses, hotels, hospitals, courts, embassies, dams, studios, palaces, and many other places that wouldn't fit here. At home, I own a studio with two i7-powered computers, external monitors, redundant high-speed wired internet, XLR microphones, and USB headsets with active noise cancellation. All the interpreters who make up my team must prove that they meet the quality requirements for online events.

I've done it all: interpreted for industrial and veterinary missions, in the booth, whispering, always adapting with total flexibility to the client's needs. I remember taking part in events where I had to leave the booth and go up on stage to do consecutive interpreting due to an unexpected power failure.

You have used a translation or heard an interpretation of mine, even indirectly. I translated versions of both Android and iOS mobile operating systems. If you're a fan of The Walking Dead and don't speak English, you've heard me live interpreting 'The Talking Dead'. I interpreted the meetings where the most important decisions were made for the e-commerce app you use on your cell phone. Even if you live in the USA and took your driver's license test in California, you've read my translation. If you're taking one of the world's leading MBAs, with lectures given by the world's biggest names in marketing and sales, you've heard my voice.
