Pòtigè Tradiktè yo nan Massachusetts

I work as a consecutively trained interpreter and translator between English, European Portuguese, and Spanish. My practice focuses on legal proceedings, where I support depositions, hearings, arbitrations, and client meetings through on-site, telephone, and video remote modalities. I also handle document translation for legal matters across these language pairs. My approach is grounded in a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and a specialized Certificate in Community Interpreting with a focus on legal and medical contexts. As a member of the American Translation Association and the National Judicial Interpreters Association, I bring precise linguistic skills and cultural insight to every assignment, ensuring clear communication for all parties involved.

I have over 20 years of experience translating and interpreting in several different areas. My educational background is translation and interpreting studies. I have just completed my MA in Translation Studies (summer 2007)and am in the PhD program of Comparative Literature at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
