Bio
Don’t settle for second-rate translations – you deserve the BEST!

I have been in love with Brazilian culture for more than 30 years, writing and speaking Portuguese at every opportunity. Altogether, I've lived more than 12 years in Brazil and am familiar with every region of the country, from the rainforests in the North to the Pampas of the South. This experience has enabled me to learn local dialects, idiomatic expressions and slang, and I still hunger for more.

For my last ten years in Brazil, I worked as a professional translator and interpreter (both simultaneous and consecutive). The other two years I was a professional photojournalist and art director in Rio de Janeiro. I have taught and lectured in both Portuguese and English.

My experience as a writer and public speaker keeps my translations and interpretations vibrant, accurate and enjoyable. My husband, Don Best, is a professional editor and author of several books. Working together, we delight in translating Portuguese into English prose that is suitable for publication. That is, it is easy to read, grammatically correct, and faithful to the original.

Together, we offer you The Best Communication. Our translation and editorial services focus on marketing, tourism, business, journalism, photography, literature, education, health, rainforest ecology, and Biblical materials.

We look forward to making YOUR communication the very BEST!
