Bio
Born in Brazil, I grew up knowing I had to learn English for my future. As a kid I started playing tabletop RPG and videogames (all in English) and both passions merged together, and eversince I have been developing both skills. As a teenager I got also into music and history - my nowadays pasttime is studying rock and metal history. As an adult, menswear caught my eye and I dove into that profession for 2 years, leaving it only for my long-desired, English-related occupation.
Having worked at an English school I did a few translation jobs, and Translation is the way I found to blend all my passions and skills into a career!
I'm passionate about
Rock 'n Roll, music history, cooking for me and my family, reading, chilling on a cloudy, cozy day. Working from home.
Areas of expertise
Fantasy, Fashion, Lord of the Rings, RPG, Videogames
The TED story
As a long TED fan, I credit the videos to my current awareness of what's going on inn the world, environmental-wise. And ever since I started working with translation TED has helped me to keep my experience and my network updated.
