I am an English translator and teacher living near Lisbon. I graduated in Translation in July of 2019 from the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of the NOVA University. In late 2018, I accepted the opportunity to teach at a Cambridge affiliated English-learning institute, for people of all ages (including Cambridge exams trainees) where I have worked for a year and a half now.

Apart from teaching English I have done several translation jobs both before (mainly for charity purposes) and after finishing my degree, within different areas of expertise, such as law, literature and real estate, which I would be glad to display should it be requested.

Other than my professional activities, I am an avid reader and I often enjoy drawing and painting when there is time, or writing short stories in English or in Portuguese. I am also currently self-learning the Japanese language, both as a pastime and a tool to add to my language list for translation or writing opportunities.

Lately I have been keenly seeking new opportunities to improve my freelance translation curriculum and build up enough experience to prove my reliability and professionalism in this challenging field of work.
