Bio

Certified PRO translator

Bachelor's Degree in Modern Languages (English, Portuguese)

Certificate of Proficiency in English, Cambridge University

SEO copywriting experience

I am a thorough linguist with strong research skills, linguistic and cultural insight into both English and Portuguese-speaking culture, and a reliable professional.

I have worked in translation since 2013. My background is mostly the academia and education. I taught English for ten years, the highlight of which was being Professor of Academic English at my alma mater UFMG, at a time when the Science without Borders scheme was in full swing. I helped hundreds of Brazilian undergraduate and graduate students develop their language skills so they could pursue studies at many top universities around the world.

Because of that, I can provide translation in education/e-learning, humanities, literature, film and tv. I have solid experience in healthcare, medical and travel, and I am your best choice for food, drink and restaurants, with previous experience as café owner and translator of the Brazilian version of a major cocktail website.

When I am not translating, I roast and sell specialty coffee sourced directly from some of the best farmers in my native state of Minas Gerais.
