What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles that value precise communication and confidentiality, where I can support healthcare conversations and collaborative teams while continuously growing. I thrive in environments that reward organization, analytical thinking, adaptability, and service excellence.

I’m a versatile multilingual professional with a strong foundation in biological sciences, scientific research, and healthcare communication. My work combines scientific training with years of medical interpretation and academic experience to support clear, accurate exchanges in high-stakes settings.

Since 2021, I’ve provided Portuguese ↔ English medical interpretation services remotely, facilitating communication between healthcare professionals, institutions, and Brazilian patients. I focus on professionalism, confidentiality, and communication accuracy while helping patients and providers navigate sensitive, complex conversations.

I also bring cross-cultural communication skills from experience with international teams and multicultural environments. Through remote interpretation roles, I’ve developed an ability to adapt quickly, manage sensitive topics, and maintain clarity under pressure.

Earlier in my career, I supported administrative and organizational workflows as an Administrative Trainee, and contributed to laboratory routines through Environmental Analysis Trainee work, including data collection and quality control procedures. I’m now seeking opportunities that value communication, analytical thinking, adaptability, organization, teamwork, and continuous learning.
