What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a full-time remote interpreter role where I facilitate clear English↔Portuguese communication and deliver excellent customer experience using consecutive interpretation, active listening, and reliable remote support.

I’m a highly motivated bilingual professional with over 14 years of experience teaching English and providing language support to students and professionals. I’m fluent in English and Portuguese, and I bring strong listening, interpretation, and communication skills—especially when working under pressure while maintaining confidentiality.

In addition to language work, I’ve supported customers in fast-paced environments through technical and IT support, logistics coordination, and call center-style assistance. I’m confident using tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet to facilitate remote communication, and I’m seeking a Remote Interpreter role where I can deliver an excellent customer experience through clear English↔Portuguese interpretation.
