Message

At Lionbridge Technologies, I translate legal, medical, technical, marketing and financial documents between English, Portuguese and Spanish. I also post-edit machine-translated content and proofread for linguistic accuracy and cultural relevance.

I maintain translation memories and terminology in Phrase (Memsource), memoQ and SDL Trados Studio, and create glossaries for recurring projects. My work also includes subtitling and localization of multimedia and digital marketing content.

As a freelance translator, I translate, proofread and localize contracts, manuals, reports, websites and marketing materials. I also post-edit AI-generated and machine-translated content, with projects of up to 6,000 words per day.

Previously, at TransPerfect, I translated and reviewed business, legal, technical and healthcare materials, and localized websites, marketing campaigns and mobile applications. I hold a Master’s in Post-editing of Machine Translation from The Ohio State University and a Bachelor’s in Linguistics from the University of Lisbon.
