Bio

Born in Brazil and a Portuguese native speaker, graduated from Design School in Rio de Janeiro (2006). I've honed my skills in customer service and meeting deadlines as a Freelance Graphic Designer. This experience broadened my passion in connecting people across linguistic borders.


Living in Buenos Aires, Argentina (2009) expanded my understanding of regional nuances and accents, while working on an Italian cruise ship (2012) further solidified my multilingual communication skills. My passion for Mexican culture goes beyond language, giving me the skills to translate with an acclimated understanding of lingo and colloquialism. My endless fascination in the diverse accents of Spanish, allows me to grasp regional variations and deliver accurate translations.


My 7 years of English studies, combined with over ten years living in the U.S., grant me a profound understanding of the language's complexities and cultural nuances.
