What I'm looking for

I seek remote EN/DE → PT(BR) roles in localization, medical/scientific or automotive projects with clear quality standards and opportunities to deepen domain expertise.

I am a translator and linguist with a BSc in Life Sciences and an MSc in Biochemistry, and I am currently completing a BA in Translation and Interpreting. I began providing linguistic services in 2015 and transitioned to a full-time career in 2021.

I provide translation, localization, proofreading, MTPE and LQA across domains including clinical trials, scientific and medical content, automotive, audiovisual and website/social media localization. I have worked with clients such as LanguageWire, RWS, Language Scientific, Translayte and Flatfee.

I am fluent in English, advanced in German and a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and I work with Trados Studio 2022 and Wordfast (licensed), as well as Memsource, MemoQ and XTM. I am available for EN/DE → PT (BR) work and bring international experience from study and research placements in Germany.
