What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my translation skills in a dynamic environment, focusing on quality and cultural relevance.

With over 14 years of experience in translation, localization, proofreading, and subtitling, I have honed my skills across various document types, including technical, legal, academic, and literary texts. My journey as a linguist has been driven by a commitment to producing target texts that align with client expectations, ensuring clarity and cultural appropriateness.

As a subtitler, I have worked with major studios and platforms such as Netflix, Disney, and HBO, delivering high-quality translations that resonate with audiences. My expertise extends to game localization, where I have successfully adapted content for Brazilian Portuguese, maintaining immersion and quality standards. I thrive in collaborative environments, effectively communicating with project teams to overcome localization challenges and ensure project success.
