Hi everyone!
I have a strong background in Biology. As an academic, I specialized in Zoology, and I spent 12 years doing research, publishing it, reviewing my colleague's manuscripts and co-editing three international scientific journals.
However, since 2018, I've been working as an English teacher. This shift happened for many reasons. To cut a long story short, I was simply born to work with languages.
My first translation was a short autobiography written by a scientist. The next thing I knew, I was already being paid by strangers to translate and proofread their manuscripts.
So far I have translated/proofed over 750,000 words for over 30 direct clients. And I know there are many more to come.
Profile and qualifications:
• 5 years of experience teaching English to adults (advanced EAP students)
• 4 years of experience translating.
• Native language: Portuguese (Brazil)
• Fluent: English (C2 certificate by Cambridge - CPE)
