What I'm looking for

I seek a role using my bilingual translation and teaching skills within a service-oriented, multicultural team offering growth and client-facing responsibilities.

I am a bilingual Portuguese and English translator with a broad background in hospitality, teaching, and administrative support. I combine language fluency with hands-on customer service experience gained in hotels and restaurants in Brazil and abroad.

I taught English to children, teens and professionals at several language schools and worked as a freelance instructor, developing clear communication and lesson-adaptation skills. I also lived and studied abroad in Great Britain and the United States, which strengthened my spoken and written English.

My hospitality career includes reception roles at Le Méridien and Transamerica hotels and waiting work in Paris, where I lived for several months; these positions honed my interpersonal, problem-solving and multilingual customer-service abilities. I also supported administrative teams in two companies, gaining practical office and technician-level computing experience.

I am passionate about continuous improvement, enjoy cooking and sports, and bring a hardworking, service-oriented mindset to roles that require language expertise, cultural awareness and reliable client interaction.
