What I'm looking for

I'm seeking entry-level remote opportunities in translation and content creation, with work in translation, proofreading, content writing, or audiovisual localization.

At TED Translators / TEDx, I participated in volunteer subtitling activities, applying my English–Portuguese language skills to audiovisual content.

I developed practical familiarity with subtitle translation and adapting spoken language into written subtitles.

At Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC-SP), I worked on an English-to-Portuguese literary translation project focused on a short story by Oscar Wilde. I aimed to preserve its meaning, tone, literary style, and narrative voice while producing a natural Brazilian Portuguese translation.

I'm studying Languages and Literature with a focus on English Language and Translation Studies. I'm interested in translation, proofreading, content writing, and audiovisual localization.
