Bio

I am a Portuguese < > English Freelance Translator. I have a Certificate in Translation and a Certificate in Subtitling. I also hold a degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Education. I have experience in the interpretation of seminars and the transcription of videos and audios. I started my translation career in 2011 working for Embassies in Brazil and have been providing language services since then. I taught EFL/ESL (English as a Foreign Language / English as a Second Language) to students of many different cultural backgrounds and various age levels in Brazil, in the United States, and in Australia. I have been told that my passion for the language industry and my professional development motivate and inspire others to believe in their dreams and pursue their career aspirations.

The TED story

I first heard about TED Talks through a lecture at University. One of my professors had planned a lesson using TED-Ed and it was amazing. The topic and the video were both so interesting and I had the opportunity to learn so much... I believe that being able to volunteer and be part of TED's community is a great way to meet new people, to acquire a wider view and understanding about the world around us and to develop a broader sense of community and globalization.
