Translator | Writer | Journalist | Editor | Copywriter | Proofreader
I have translated or proofread books, business letters, commercial proposals, market research studies, travel information, white papers, and other types of documents, most of them for B2B audiences.
I was also engaged in the writing, editing, and proofreading of training resources, newsletters, advertisements, press releases, reports, and website content, among others.
Teaching helped me to develop the ability of explaining complex things in a clear and objective manner, while reading and research – allied to my degree in Journalism – brought me knowledge on the most diverse fields, as well as the skill of learning quite fast whatever I need.
Also, thanks to my Journalism background and my work in marketing and advertising, I can easily switch between the informative and the persuasive languages, which allows me to create content that is either facts- or marketing-focused.
