Career / Experience

Hi! I am a season, experienced translator with 20+ years of experience.

I translate:
• From English into Brazilian Portuguese
• From Brazilian Portuguese into English
• From Spanish into English
• From Spanish into Portuguese

I also have basic to intermediate knowledge of other languages such as French, Italian, Latin, Scottish Gaelic, German, and Turkish. I cannot work from or to those languages but my (almost!) polyglot skills help me understand certain references and have a confident approach to steering through cultures.

I have a Master degree in Translation Studies by the University of São Paulo (Brazil) and I’m working toward my PhD at University of Massachusetts Amherst in the USA.

I have experience in different areas such as the cultural sector, NGOs, the UN system, as well as technical translation spanning from mechanical engineering to linguistics to architecture and so on. I have also done a lot of business contract translations for different industries.

But my highest level of expertise is on literary translation – poetry, prose, and non-fiction. I have translated into Portuguese authors such as Monique Wittig, Jonathan Safran Foer, Boris Fishman, Timothy Morton, Gertrude Stein, Mina Loy, Austin Osman Spare, and others.
