What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to utilize my language skills in scientific and legal contexts, while contributing to meaningful projects.

I am an experienced English ↔ Brazilian Portuguese Interpreter and Translator with over 10 years of providing high-quality language services, particularly in US immigration and scientific contexts. My native fluency in both languages, combined with my cultural awareness, allows me to handle sensitive topics with professionalism and clarity.

Throughout my career, I have specialized in consecutive interpretation and document translation, particularly in legal settings such as asylum interviews and client consultations. My background in pharmaceutical and scientific fields enhances my ability to convey complex technical language accurately and with cultural appropriateness.
