What I'm looking for

I’m looking for translation and intercultural communication roles where I can deliver EN–PT/ES work with strong terminology, manage projects and deadlines, and collaborate with global teams—using my language expertise, interpreting skills, and cross-cultural insight.

I’m a multilingual language professional with over 10 years of experience across translation, foreign trade, education, and content creation. I translate and proofread institutional, academic, and corporate materials between English, Portuguese, and Spanish— including a government sustainability report submitted to the United Nations.

I’ve managed translation teams and coordinated multi-chapter projects with international deadlines, leading workstreams end-to-end from client liaison to final review. My background also includes simultaneous and consecutive interpreting for importers and exporters across Brazil, the US, and Latin America.

Alongside my translation career, I’m an independent English educator and content creator, building a social media audience of 18,000+ followers through bilingual, intercultural learning content. I’m currently completing a BA in Applied Languages and I’m available to relocate to Portugal.
