What I'm looking for

I'm seeking roles that let me apply editorial and training skills in a collaborative, learning-focused environment with opportunities for growth.

I'm a responsible, organised professional completing a degree in Languages, Literatures and Cultures at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon, with a major in Modern Languages and minors in Editing and Translation. I combine frontline customer-service experience at McDonald's with editorial work for a university journal, strengthening communication, teamwork, and attention to detail.

I'm comfortable with Microsoft Word, Excel, Google Docs and PDF editing, and I seek opportunities to expand my skills in editing, translation, and writing.
