Bio

I am an English/German/Spanish > Brazilian Portuguese translator and proofreader providing services to translation agencies since 2008, specialized in medical, pharmaceutical, and compliance translations. My work has included the translation and proofreading of documents related to new drug studies, clinical trials, diagnostic equipment, quality control, regulatory affairs, websites and compliance. I also perform site and app localization. I frequently attend conferences and training sessions related to the areas above to develop myself and see new products and regulations. I worked at the Molecular and Diagnostics Divisions at a multinational laboratory branch located in Brazil.


Before becoming a translator, I worked in events promoted by the University of São Paulo and Goethe Institute and attended language courses in Germany and England. In addition, I worked for five years in a bank, where I was part of auditing and business activities.
