About

Detailed, intensive textual work, according to your needs.

I have a background in linguistic, artistic and cultural studies, having studied Languages, Literatures and Cultures (BA, Faculty of Letters of the University of Lisbon, grade: 16 out of 20) and Sexual Dissidence in Literature and Culture (MA, School of English of the University of Sussex, grade: 85%). As an academic researcher, I have been published as a translator of the work of French philosopher Michel Foucault, within the academic anthology "Inseguranças no Espaço Urbano: Perspetivas Culturais" ("Insecurities in Urban Space: Cultural Perspectives", Famalicão: Húmus, 2012). I was a recipient of a research grant as an undergraduate and as a graduate I am currently preparing various essays on contemporary literature and on the work of Portuguese singer-songwriter António Variações.

I have been working for the past few years as a freelance translator and proofreader, having worked with materials from various backgrounds and in various styles, including academic essays (sociology, anthropology, philosophy), technical texts (security, guidelines, protocols), management documents (human resources, management structures) -- to list only a few. I am also experienced in subtitling, working as a freelancer for the past year, frequently collaborating with a local subtitling company (Cristbet, Lda.) in producing subtitles for film, DVDs, conferences and television. I currently work as English tutor and teacher, as the English-Portuguese language pair is my expertise: I have a Certificate of Proficiency in English by the University of Cambridge, obtained at the age of 17 with a grade of "A". I am currently looking for various forms of textual work that complement my current earnings.

I am also active in creative areas, regularly producing literary work which is to be published in Lisbon within the next two months, and having recently written and directed a short-film.
