@vanessacveiga
Applied Linguist and AI Language Specialist helping organizations assess and improve language quality.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Applied Linguist, Translator, and Language Specialist with 10+ years of experience in language education, translation, localization, and multilingual communication. I combine rigorous linguistic review with practical content evaluation so the output is accurate, consistent, and truly effective for real audiences.
For years, I’ve evaluated written and spoken language across multiple proficiency levels, assessing linguistic accuracy, fluency, coherence, and overall communication effectiveness. I develop evaluation criteria and assessment frameworks, then review content with structured feedback while designing educational resources and assessment materials.
As a Freelance Translator & Localization Specialist (Remote), I translate and localize documents, manuals, questionnaires, reports, and educational content between English and Portuguese. I also perform proofreading, editing, linguistic quality assurance, and terminology management to maintain consistency across multilingual projects and preserve tone and cultural relevance.
I’m especially driven by language quality work powered by AI. I have a strong interest in AI language technologies, Large Language Models (LLMs), prompt evaluation, annotation review, and language quality assessment—bringing the same analytical thinking and attention to detail to content rating, quality assurance, and structured feedback.
