Bio

I am delighted to share my extensive
journey in the field of translation, which encompasses a wide range of
experiences, academic achievements, and a strong passion for overcoming
language barriers. With a diverse international background and a deep-rooted
dedication to the art of translation, I have consistently delivered precise and
refined linguistic solutions, achieving excellence in my field.

 

Academic Background:

 

My translation journey began in 1992 when I
embarked on a quest to broaden my horizons and gain a comprehensive
understanding of linguistic nuances. I pursued my education in Tampa, Florida,
and Ramsgate, England, where I diligently studied English-Portuguese Language
Literature, earning a distinguished major from UNIFIEO/SP. Seeking to deepen my
expertise, I also immersed myself in diverse cultures through experiences in
France and Belgium, expanding my linguistic repertoire.

 

Expertise in Translation:

 

Fueled by an unwavering desire for
professional growth, I sharpened my skills by completing a subtitling course at
Alumni in São Paulo, acquiring prestigious certifications from Cambridge and
the University of London. These accolades serve as a testament to my unwavering
commitment to excellence and proficiency in delivering top-tier linguistic
solutions.

 

Specializations and Post-Graduation:

 

To further enhance my translation prowess,
I pursued a specialized course in Translation from PUC - São Paulo, equipping
myself with advanced techniques and strategies to tackle complex translation
challenges. Additionally, I completed a rigorous Post-Graduation Translation
Course at UNIBERO - São Paulo, solidifying my expertise and reinforcing my
dedication to the craft.

 

Extensive Professional Experience:

 

Throughout my illustrious career, I have
proudly provided my linguistic talents as a freelance translator for esteemed
organizations. Collaborating with renowned companies such as Bradesco,
ArvinMeritor, Hughes do Brasil, and Data Cargo (Miami/USA), among others, I
have seamlessly conveyed their messages across language barriers, fostering
lasting connections and facilitating global communication.

 

Current Pursuits:

 

At this stage of my journey, I am engaged
in diverse roles as both a freelance translator and a contracted linguist for
two reputable translation agencies and a prominent publisher in Alphaville, São
Paulo. These varied endeavors continuously refine my skills, enable me to adapt
to different contexts, and deliver unparalleled translation services.

 

Simultaneously, I embrace the opportunity
to lead by coordinating an esteemed English language school in Brazil. This
venture combines my passion for language instruction with my expertise in
translation, empowering individuals to embark on their own linguistic journeys
and nurturing a love for effective communication.

 

In Conclusion:

 

My voyage in the world of translation has
been truly extraordinary. Guided by a profound appreciation for the power of
language and a commitment to excellence, I have navigated through diverse
cultures, acquired invaluable knowledge, and developed an unwavering dedication
to precision and cultural sensitivity. As I continue on this path with
unwavering passion, I eagerly anticipate further opportunities to connect
worlds, build bridges, and transcend linguistic barriers—one translation at a
time.
