I am a professional translator, proofreader, editor, subtitler, journalist and writer based in London-UK since 2002.
I currently work as Language Lead for Tripadvisor. This means that I am the voice of authority for Tripadvisor in Brazilian Portuguese, working in a team of international linguistic experts, localization leaders and translation decision-makers who are a key part of the Tripadvisor Localization team’s success. I am responsible for in-country editing, proofreading and in-context review/testing of content for Brazil, including Tripadvisor website and apps, B2B and B2C communications, promotional newsletters and policies.
As a volunteer, over the last years I have contributed with translations to projects like FairCoop, Global Voices Online, Amnesty International, and TED.
In addition to my extensive experience as a linguist, I am also a trained Psychosynthesis counsellor and a student of breathwork.
My intention for 2021 onwards is to find work related to the fields of personal interest: human and animal rights, open source, trustworthy AI, inclusion and diversity, cooperatives, travel, Burning Man and other burns, trauma healing, breathwork, consciousness, mindfulness, mental health, psychology, psychedelic research, authentic relating, women’s empowerment, intersectional feminism, and the links between spirituality e sexuality (specially Tantra). And cats. Obviously. Always cats.
Languages
My mother tongue is Brazilian Portuguese, I am a fluent English speaker and am very interested in languages in general; I am currently learning Italian, Spanish and French are among my goals, and Hungarian is my dream.
My main working pair for translation is English -> Brazilian Portuguese, but I can translate from Portuguese into English, always with the aid of a professional native speaker proofreader. I also write original texts in both languages.
Please check my resume and contact me to find out more about how I can help you with your text.
Green and ethical
My services are as green and ethical as possible: my electricity and gas are supplied by Octopus, my internet provider is PhoneCoop, I bank with the Co-operative Bank and Triodos, and live in a housing coop. I shop locally as much as possible, and I prioritise second hand, recycled and upcycled goods over brand new products.
