Bio

My background in Comparative Studies of the Lusophone world with the English-speaking global community specially qualifies me to assess and lead localization and transcreation projects.

Teacher and translator. I worked for the past 7 years at Brown University, an Ivy League institution, teaching and researching Portuguese language, Brazilian literature and creative writing. My work enabled dozens of professionals and researchers in training to go on to develop outstanding work in the Portuguese-speaking world, from Environmental Sciences and Engineering, to Public Health and International Relations.

I have a passion for translating material that will help people, add to our cultural repository, and solve problems all the while with an eye to proper localization and cultural sensitivity.
