I am a Brazilian translator, postgraduate in English translation and member of the Brazilian Association of Translators and Interpreters (ABRATES). I started translating while supporting C-level executives in global leading pharmaceutical and food industries in Brazil. Since 2016, I have worked full-time as a freelancer translator from English and Spanish into Brazilian Portuguese. My experience covers the following areas: Pharmacology, Vaccines, Oncology and Healthcare, Administrative, Marketing and Human Resources, Translation for Dubbing, Subtitling and Audio Description. Furthermore, I am a volunteer translator for non-profit organizations and I have a blog “Arca do Saber” (http://www.arcadosaber.blog.br) with articles about translation and the Brazilian Portuguese grammar. I love what I do and always seek specialized knowledge in the areas I work with to provide the support you need for your translation projects.
