Pòtigè Tradiktè yo nan Colorado

I have a passion for languages and cultures, and have worked as a full-time translator and interpreter for the last 10 years. My diverse background enabled me to produce outstanding translations in various subjects such as medical researches on hemophilia, mining, food labels, specializing in contracts and documents, and political science. I have worked and lived in the international scene most of my life, in Europe, and presently in the US, I was born in Brazil; it allowed me to develop a proven ability to interact in cross-cultural environments, with excellent understanding of protocol and etiquette, and mainly of the culture applied to the language.
