ABOUT
Where language meets research, technology and human communication
Every project begins with one question:
What should this text achieve for its audience?
Sometimes the answer requires strict legal accuracy. Other times, it calls for creativity, localization, or careful cultural adaptation. My role is to understand both the purpose of your content and the people reading it.
Over the past five years, I have collaborated with international agencies including Oliver Agency, Yellow Language, MoniSa, GienTech, Hansem Vietnam and SaltLux, providing professional language services across legal, medical, technical, audiovisual translation, subtitling, AI, and software localization projects.
My academic background in History, Musicology, Education, and scientific research has shaped the way I approach every assignment: methodically, critically, and with great attention to detail.
I translate from English, Spanish, and French into European Portuguese, helping clients create content that is not only linguistically correct but culturally meaningful.
Because for me, “close enough” is never enough.
I enjoy solving linguistic challenges that demand more than literal translation.
SERVICES
Language solutions designed for global communication
Translation
Accurate translations that preserve meaning—not just words.
I translate legal, medical, technical, educational, and business content from English, Spanish, and French into European Portuguese, ensuring clarity, consistency, and terminology accuracy. Every project is carefully researched and adapted for native Portuguese readers.
Need a translation you can trust?
Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE)
Transforming machine output into natural human language.
Machine translation can speed up workflows—but only when refined by an experienced linguist. I provide light and full MTPE to improve fluency, accuracy, terminology, and compliance with your style guides, delivering content that reads as if it were translated from scratch.
Localization
Making your product feel native to Portuguese users.
From software and websites to mobile apps and digital platforms, I adapt language, terminology, and cultural references so your product feels intuitive and authentic to European Portuguese audiences.
AI Language Services
Human expertise behind smarter AI.
I support AI and Large Language Model (LLM) projects through linguistic evaluation, data annotation, prompt assessment, quality assurance, and model training. My research-driven approach ensures reliable, high-quality language data that helps AI perform better.
Audiovisual Translation
Content that sounds natural on screen.
I provide subtitling, dialogue adaptation, audiovisual localization, transcription, and quality evaluation for educational, corporate, and multimedia content, balancing linguistic accuracy with readability and timing.
Bring your audiovisual content to life.
Voiceover
A voice that connects with your audience.
I record clear, warm, and authentic European Portuguese voice-overs for e-learning, corporate videos, digital content, and multimedia projects, helping your message sound professional and engaging.
Let’s give your content a voice.
Transcreation & Marketing Localization
Because great marketing should never sound translated.
I adapt campaigns, websites, advertising, and brand messaging so they resonate naturally with Portuguese audiences while preserving your brand’s personality, tone, and emotional impact.
Let’s make your message resonate.
Linguistic Quality Assurance
The final layer of confidence before publication.
I review multilingual content for consistency, terminology, grammar, style, and overall linguistic quality, helping ensure your content meets professional standards before it reaches your audience.
Let’s perfect your content.

Language has the power to connect people—and I believe it should also help communities grow.
Doula & Lactation Services
Alongside my work as a language professional, I also provide services connected to maternal care and breastfeeding support.
