About

Hello! If you're planning on venturing in the Brazilian market, you came to the right place. I'm a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker who always loved languages, learning about new cultures and everything related to communication. That made me choose Marketing & Advertising as my major in college, but I ended up discovering the translation industry and falling in love with it in 2012, and, after graduating, decided to work full time as a translator. Since that first project in 2012, I have completed a Post-graduation course in English Translation and a Game Localization course, and have been working with several clients to tear down the language barrier and help them reach new markets and new worlds. I specialise in subtitling, marketing translation, software localization and gaming localization, and most of my clients operate in the IT, entertainment, tourism & travel and medical/healthcare industries.
