Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I have been a translator, editor, and proofreader. I also have some experience in ghostwriting and subtitling. I graduated in 2013 with an MA in Translation, a Major degree in English, and a Minor in History by the Faculty of Arts of Porto University.
Through my education and work experience I acquired:
-The ability to follow guidelines and to meet deadlines.
-Excellent editing and proofreading skills.
-Experience communicating and writing in English.
In my free time, I volunteer at a local animal shelter and I'm a proud mom of seven rescues.
Looking forward to working with you!
