What I'm looking for

I’m available for remote international contractor projects for 20–30 hours per week.

As a Sworn Public Translator and Interpreter in Santa Catarina, I provide English–Portuguese translation and interpreting for official documents and proceedings involving courts, notary offices, and civil registry offices. I’m licensed by the Board of Trade of the State of Santa Catarina (JUCESC).

In my freelance work, I translate, proofread, and edit across legal, medical, technical, academic, and other subject areas. I use Trados Studio, memoQ, Phrase, and Wordfast to support translation-memory and terminology workflows.

I also provide simultaneous and consecutive interpreting for official settings, courses, conferences, and other professional events, both remotely and in person. My academic background includes a PhD in Comparative Literature, and I’m available for remote international contractor projects for 20–30 hours per week.
