Samira (samirads)
Living in Porto, Portugal, for 7 years, I am a freelance translator with many interests such as arts, literature, languages and architecture, my area of specialty. While English is the only foreign language I actually studied, Romance languages, having had Latin all trough high school, were relatively easy to pick and are proficiently used in my everyday life.
History
Born in Cape Verde, I grew up and did my basic schooling in Italy where my attraction for architecture begun. I've moved to Portugal and graduated in architecture; in Italy I later did my curricular traineeship. I've since worked in my academic field throughout Portugal until I've elected Porto city as my favorite place to settle, and moved here since 2009.
I am bilingual, Italian and Portuguese, while fluent in 5 languages, I therefore occasionally utilize this proneness working in the hospitality and tourism fields, as well as for translating and teaching.

A viver em Portugal, no Porto, sou tradutora freelance com muitas áreas de interesse, desde as artes, à literatura, línguas e arquitetura, a minha área profissional. Enquanto o inglês é a única língua estrangeira que tenha propriamente estudado, aprendi e utilizo sem dificuldade a maioria das línguas neolatinas, sendo fluente em 5.
Vida
Natural de Cabo Verde, cresci e fiz toda a escolaridade em Itália onde desenvolvi o gosto pela arte e a arquitetura, tendo aí regressado para desenvolver o estágio curricular do curso. Transferi-me para Portugal e licenciei-me em Arquitetura pela Universidade de Coimbra em 2006. Até à data trabalhei em gabinetes de arquitetura em Almada, Albufeira, Lagos e Porto, onde resido desde 2009.
Bilingue, falo corretamente 5 línguas e ocasionalmente utilizo essa vertente trabalhando na área da hospitalidade e do turismo, bem como na da tradução e do ensino particular.
