Message

At Payoneer, I translated app and website interfaces, internal memos, and blog articles. My pre-release QA and linguistic reviews reduced post-launch linguistic issues by 35%.

At GROUNDPROBE, I translated marketing materials, sales content, manuals, and technical documentation for mining, drilling, processing, and monitoring equipment. I also translated software interfaces and documentation for MINITOOL.

As a freelance translator, proofreader, transcriber, and LQA tester, I’ve served over 200 clients across fields including law, engineering, e-learning, and healthcare. I’ve also translated medical materials used in healthcare facilities in the Amazon and remote northern Brazilian communities.
