What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can design and improve bilingual learning and translation workflows, drive linguistic quality, and apply AI-assisted tools in a collaborative, inclusive environment.

I am a bilingual educator, translator, and instructional designer with over ten years of experience developing, reviewing, and adapting English–Portuguese learning materials for diverse audiences. I focus on linguistic accuracy, cultural adaptation, and accessible pedagogical solutions.

At Casa Thomas Jefferson I design and refine bilingual learning resources, provide editorial and pedagogical feedback, and promote inclusion through culturally responsive content. I have also created corporate training materials and translated technical, academic, and educational texts as a freelancer, ensuring clarity and cultural relevance.

I hold a postgraduate diploma in bilingual education and an MA in Translation Studies, and I am expanding my expertise in multilingual data quality and AI-driven content analysis, using digital tools such as Google Workspace, Canva, and AI-assisted writing and editing tools.
