Bio

Being born and lived in South Africa throughout 15 years and living in Portugal ever since, gives me the benefit of having two mother tongues – English and Portuguese. Living in a country within Europe enables me to travel frequently and familiarize with other languages, cultures and nations. I often visit family in Spain and read a lot in this language, which aids my translation from Spanish into Portuguese or into English. 

This pleasure in multicultural contact feeds my curiosity and my desire to learn about different contexts and ways of living. Having a degree in Psychology and working over 13 years in Banking within the Marketing Department, led me to my main areas in Translation – Social, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Business, Marketing and Publicity.

Willing to expand my expertise and because I believe that having the language knowledge is not enough to be a Translator, I Post-graduated in Translation – Communication and Translating Media.

At great ease with both English and Portuguese, as well as being close to and integrated into different cultures, are a combination of factors that help expand my awareness of the specific features and context in which communication and the use of verbal language take place. To me, the pleasure of understanding the process of communication, having the language knowledge and being alert to its surroundings, widely benefits and satisfies my professional life as a Translator.
