What I'm looking for

I'm looking for customer-facing communications, support, interpretation, or translation work where I can resolve complex enquiries, communicate across cultures and languages, and turn detailed information into practical guidance.

I recently supported Weber-Stephen customers with post-sales enquiries, technical troubleshooting, warranties, orders, and product issues using Salesforce, Zendesk, and Navision.

Across Language Services Associates, One World Global Services, and LanguageLine Solutions, I provided remote consecutive interpretation between Portuguese and English in healthcare, government, finance, legal, emergency, and travel settings. I bring accuracy, cultural sensitivity, confidentiality, and clear communication to high-stakes calls.

For more than 23 years, I’ve translated and proofread English, Spanish, and Portuguese documents, ensuring linguistic accuracy, clarity, consistency, and cultural appropriateness. I also supported Spanish-speaking Airbnb customers through sensitive reservation and insurance-related cases.

Earlier in my career, I led communications, media relations, editorial operations, campaigns, events, and stakeholder engagement for organizations including Música no Coração, Associação Leque, Vila Nova de Gaia City Council, and hospitality, culture, and entertainment brands. I enjoy turning complex information into practical guidance and building trusted relationships across cultures.
