Bio
🌐 I'm a Brazilian language translator and interpreter (English to Portuguese BR) with heavy experience in consecutive interpretation in the creative industry. I am also currently an English Speaking Tutor, a language learning content creator, an autodidactic apprentice in simultaneous interpretation, and a Swedish enthusiast.

🎓 In the realm of academics, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Social Communication from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro. In 2015, my commitment to both professional development and linguistic excellence led me to spend two semesters at the University of Maryland - College Park (UMD). 

🌍 In both my home university and as an international student, I thrived in multicultural environments while dedicated to my academic passion for Film, and hands-on abilities in filmmaking. Coincidently, one of those opportunities led me to my first experience as an interpreter at a UMD graduation ceremony.

🌟 My professional journey includes impactful collaborations with RT Features (awarded at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival), Mercedes-Benz, FRIDA Fund, and the Danish Cultural Institute, along with various independent clients.

💬 As a culturally versed interpreter, I am driven by the belief that effective communication is not only defined by accurate translation, but also by serving as a calm and impartial messager in high-pressure situations, as well as enabling the understanding of underlying humor by both parties, despite cultural differences.

🎯 I'm ever eager to break boundaries utilizing language and culture, inspire people to fearlessly communicate around the world through storytelling, make significant contributions to the translation community, and keep challenging myself to be better every step of the way.

🤝 If you are passionate about languages, interpreting, translation, media, games, technology, innovation, film, literature, music, the LGBTQAI+ community, marketing, human rights, linguistic justice, the creative industry, and related matters: let's create a connection beyond social networks. I'm open to collaborating on projects, exchanging feedback, and exploring new creative opportunities.
