Dear Madam/Sir, 

I was born in 1985, and I discovered my passion for languages from an early age. I am a native Brazilian speaker and have lived in Europe since 2011. Since 2007, I have been teaching classes. Later I was an itinerant teacher, and a tutor who believes in languages. The languages I taught are Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and Italian. 

I graduated with a master’s degree in Philosophy by Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University.  I am gifted to understand many languages. Soon, I discovered what it meant to translate a message from a source to a target idiom. Even if in translation, meaning, and literacy may somehow be lost from the original masterpiece, I strive to keep its true essence.   

Since 2017, I have been helping the Cityscoot Team (scooter sharing service) in Italy working from home on requests in the following pair languages: Italian-French, French Italian, English French and French English. We translated the Terms and Conditions from French to Italian and updated some features from the French to Italian market and vice versa.  

Currently, I am looking for a full immersion project that inspires me. I am precise and hard-working. I am vegan, love yoga, and a pacifist. Furthermore, I am interested in contributing towards raising awareness to the urgency to reverse climate change, starting from slight changes in society, starting from me and you.  

I have experience translating Sustainability articles connected with Smart Manufacturing System and Financial Markets. Acquainted with CAT tools Trados, OmegaT, Worldfast, etc., I can supply references for past jobs I have done. I am an easy-going person and a team player. 

I can work as an interpreter and help you with your projects. I have experience in helping students from all over the world in finding rooms, contacting the real estate agency, and supplying fully help, as necessary. For example, helping to call or to show you how to send a document to a property owner. A recent experience of mine is finding a place for a Portuguese guy who now is studying medicine in Milan. I can easily contact people here in Italy to help you search for a place for your daughter or son. My rate is €80 per day.   

My rate for translation from French to Portuguese (BR), or any other idiom (English, Italian, or Spanish to Portuguese BR) is 0.05 USD per word and idem from Portuguese (BR) to any of the aforementioned languages. 

I have a European Union Portuguese passport and fully respect and admire ONU's works on fields of Sustainability, Green Economy, Global Transition, Renewables, Financial Markets, etc. I do believe language is the strongest way to enhance identity, citizenship, civics, ethics, and leadership in societies. My fields of interest include subjects related to human and global initiatives connected to green economy.   

For these reasons, I have a profound interest in becoming a part of your team.
