I am a new member of the Guru community and expect to fully deliver, being extremely driven and dedicated to all projects I commit to.
Since I spoke my first words, I learned that speaking languages opened our windows to new worlds, and it has always been my passion. To my advantage, I grew up in an unique position, since I have three nationalities: Brazilian by birth, American by my mother and Spanish by my father. I grew up in Brazil, in a polyglot household, and studied in an American School, thus, I can say I am native English and Portuguese speaker. I also speak fluent Spanish both because of my father and for having the opportunity to live for 6 months in Madrid. Last but not least, I studied French for more than 14 years. Not surprisingly, I graduated in International Relations.
Currently, I work at IBM Global Financing (IBM’s lease and financing business unit), where I have been for the last 5 years. During my college years though, I worked for two years as an Intern in a Translation company, owned by a Certified Translator which needed assistance handling the workload. It was a great opportunity since I handled mainly official documents (legal documents, contracts, thesis, etc...). After that, I took on several freelance Translation jobs, some of them as voluntary work for social organizations and NGOs. I have a lot of experience with Business Writing but my passion has always been writing of all sorts, creative writing and articles, for example.
