Message

At Amazon Prime Video, I performed linguistic quality assurance on Brazilian Portuguese subtitles for original and licensed productions. I also refined machine-generated subtitles and audio, and wrote prompts to guide AI models in producing Portuguese content.

As a freelance Brazilian Portuguese localization specialist, I translate, localize, transcreate, review and perform LQA on content for video games, online education, tourism and marketing. My work includes in-game text and UI, websites, campaigns, social media posts and educational materials.

I manage glossaries and translation memories to support consistency across projects, and review machine-generated content as part of AI-assisted language workflows. I use CAT and project collaboration tools, and sometimes outsource work to other linguists and review their output.

Earlier, I worked as a copywriter and creative manager at advertisement agencies including Dream Factory, HUB Brasil and DIA Comunicação. I wrote and edited Brazilian Portuguese content for brands including Mastercard, Rock in Rio and Carrefour, and managed and mentored creative teams.
