Bio

I am an accomplished linguist and versatile professional with a captivating journey that has shaped my passion for languages and translation.

My educational voyage commenced with the study of Law, culminating in the successful attainment of a Master's degree in Finance and Law. With a solid foundation in the legal realm, I embarked on a decade-long career as a skilled lawyer, delving into complex legal documents and fostering an acute eye for detail.

In 2017, I embraced an exciting new chapter by relocating to the captivating shores of Portugal. Fueled by an unwavering love for language and a desire to bridge cultural gaps, I resolved to embark on a transformative journey as a translator.

My translation odyssey began to take shape, and I soon found myself translating a myriad of materials, ranging from intricate contracts to captivating books, and from engaging marketing content to natural and seamless conversations. My diverse linguistic repertoire has even led me into the enchanting world of game localization, where I ensure players immerse themselves fully in unforgettable gaming experiences.

Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a steadfast commitment to my craft, I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Translation at the esteemed University of Porto. This educational pursuit allows me to refine and elevate my linguistic prowess to deliver translations that transcend mere words, capturing the essence of the source text while resonating with the target audience.

As a native Spanish speaker, I wield an innate understanding of the nuances and intricacies of the language, enriching my translations with a genuine sense of cultural authenticity. My proficiency in English and Portuguese, both professionally honed, empowers me to effortlessly navigate the linguistic landscape, creating fluid and polished translations.

Beyond my primary languages, I am continuously expanding my linguistic horizons, maintaining an intermediate level of French, opening new doors of opportunity in multilingual projects.

Having laid the groundwork for language integration throughout my tenure as a lawyer, translating documents was not only an integral part of my professional responsibilities but also a gratifying endeavor that kept me engaged and inquisitive.

In crafting immaculate translations that bridge cultures and foster understanding, my passion for languages remains the cornerstone of my work. With each project, my commitment to excellence and unwavering dedication to conveying the essence of the original text shine brightly.
