Legal professional with strong experience in technical translations
I am a Portuguese legal professional with international working experience. While working for International Organizations and NGOs, my translation, legal knowledge and writing skills were strongly needed within this range: English-Portuguese; Portuguese-English; Spanish-English and Romanian-English. The capacity of delivering quality results in a short period of time proved to be one of my strongest assets throughout my professional career.

Work Terms
I am currently working home-based for an NGO located in the Republic of Moldova, thus being available to dedicate a substantial part of my time to assist interested clients with translations.
The documents that I worked on during my career were internal documents of the international organizations and NGOs that I worked for. Therefore, in case of request, I can only provide selected samples for possible employers to analyse.
I am available as needed/open to offers, and will charge 27$/hr. for any type of translations as following: English-Portuguese; Portuguese-English; Spanish-English and Romanian-English. Payments should be made through bank transfer to my personal bank account.
During my work, I will always provide feedback to the Client. The final product of the work will only be sent after the Client has sent me an e-mail attaching the receipt of bank transfer of the payment covering the total of hours spent, according to the above mentioned hourly rate.
