@sandramedeira
I craft persuasive Portuguese content, copy and scripts rooted in localisation and storytelling.
What I'm looking for
I've spent more than a decade translating, revising and localising marketing, technical, legal and corporate content into European Portuguese, shaping tone and messaging for varied audiences.
As a published author and independent content creator, I develop original work from concept to publication and create website, blog, social and promotional content around books, poetry and professional services.
I'm transitioning into content marketing and copywriting, bringing research, SEO, editorial precision and narrative skills to landing pages, campaigns, product messaging and short-form video scripts.
