What I'm looking for

I seek remote or hybrid roles in translation, subtitling or editorial work with clear deadlines, collaborative teams, professional development and respect for quality standards.

I am a professional literary translator, editor and subtitler with extensive freelance experience translating, revising and editing content in Portuguese, English and Spanish. I work across publishing and media, delivering quality-controlled translations and subtitle synchronization for publishers, studios and broadcasters.

Since 2014 I have combined part-time editorial and administrative advisory work with continuous freelance translation and subtitling projects for clients including Clube do Autor, Alma dos Livros, Estúdios PSB and Transperfect–HBO. I also have warehouse and logistics management experience from earlier roles, which strengthened my organisational skills and attention to deadlines.

I hold a Licenciatura in Modern Languages and Literatures and a Level I certificate in subtitling; I am rigorous with timetables, comfortable working remotely or hybrid, and bring strong multilingual competence and practical IT skills to every project.
